Top contenders for the European Golden Shoe: October 2020

#4 Son Heung-Min (4 goals – 8 points)

Son Heung-Min is among the Premier League's top-scorers

Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-Min is currently injured and is expected to be ruled out of action for between four and seven weeks.

However, he’s among the top-scorers in Europe, having already netted four goals in the Premier League.

All of Son’s four goals came in Spurs’ 5-2 win over Southampton and he’ll definitely look to add more when he returns to fitness.

#3 Dominic Calvert-Lewin (5 goals – 10 points)

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has hit a rich vein of form in the early weeks of the Premier League

Perhaps the most in-form forward in Europe at the moment, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is currently enjoying the time of his life.

Despite Everton’s star summer signings, the 23-year-old has been the club’s main source of goals this season. He has now scored five goals in the Premier League and is just a goal short of hitting double figures in all competitions. Surely, he’s a strong contender for the European Golden Shoe if he can maintain his form.

#2 Jamie Vardy (5 goals – 10 points)

Jamie Vardy wants to win the Premier League Golden Boot for the second season running

Good, old Jamie Vardy is right up there with the top contenders for the European Golden Shoe. The Leicester City striker emerged top-scorer in the Premier League last season.

This season, he’s on course to repeat the feat after netting five goals in three games, including a sensational hat-trick against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Vardy occupies the summit of the Premier League top-scorers chart with fellow Englishman Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

#1 Andrej Kramaric (5 goals – 10 points)

Andrej Kramaric is the top-scorer in the Bundesliga with four goals in two games.

The man who has stolen the spotlight as we begin the month of October is Hoffenheim’s Andrej Kramaric.

The 29-year-old has scored an astonishing five goals in the Bundesliga this season. He has the same number of goals as Jamie Vardy and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but he edges the duo because his five goals have come in just two games.

Kramaric’s ruthlessness in front of goal is the reason why Hoffenheim sit top of the Bundesliga table and he is a genuine contender for this season’s European Golden Shoe.
