Top Contenders for European Golden Shoe: March 2019

#8 Edinson Cavani – (17 goals – 34 points)

Edinson Cavani is 8th on the European Golden Shoe index

Next in the race for the European Golden Shoe award is Paris Saint-Germain’s Edinson Cavani. The Uruguayan forward has been injured for the last two weeks, but that has not prevented him from appearing in the top 10.

Cavani has so far netted 17 league goals this season, with a further four assists to his name. He might be far off the no.1 spot, but it is obvious that the former Napoli striker will be a strong contender for the Golden Shoe come the end of the season.

There is still a long way to go and, should Cavani remain fit, he should be up there challenging for the award with both Ronaldo and Messi.

#7 Fabio Quagliarella (17 goals – 34 points)

Fabio Quagliarella is one of the outsiders for the European Golden Shoe award

Occupying 7th spot is veteran striker Fabio Quagliarella, who has been very consistent this season. The Sampdoria forward started the last month with just 12 goals, but has managed to add five more through the month of February.

Currently, the former Italy international has 17 goals in the Serie A and looks to be getting better with each passing week.

Age might not be on Quagliarella’s side, but the former Juventus striker has so far proved how lethal he can be in front of goal.
