Top Contenders for European Golden Shoe: January 2019

#4 Mohamed Salah (13 goals – 26 goals)

Mohamed Salah has rediscovered his scoring touch

Another player on 13 goals is Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool star started the season on a rather slow note, but he has picked up in the last two months.

Salah has now moved to second on the Premier League scoring charts after scoring three goals in the Reds’ last two league games. The Egyptian now has 13 Premier League goals and a staggering seven assists after 19 games.

Last season, Salah was close to winning the European Golden Shoe award, but eventually lost out to Lionel Messi. However, this season could finally be his time to scoop the award.

#3 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (14 goals – 28 points)

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is poised to challenge for the European Golden Shoe award

One of the new entrants in the list of contenders of the European Golden Shoe is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Arsenal striker has been one of the shining lights for the Gunners in what has so far been a mixed season.

The 29-year-old is currently the top scorer in the Premier League with 14 goals and also boasts three assists to his name.

Aubameyang has never won the European Golden Shoe, but his current form makes him one of the top contenders for the award this season.
