#8 Wissam Ben Yedder (15 goals – 30 points)
The Ligue 1 has become a home to many superstars in recent times. The French top-flight boasts superstars like Neymar, Angel Di Maria, Memphis Depay, Kylian Mbappe among others. However, all these stars are currently being outshined by an unlikely name.
Monaco’s Wissam Ben Yedder is leading the scoring charts in the Ligue 1 and has actually outscored both Neymar and Mbappe. The diminutive striker has impressively netted 15 league goals this season.
Ben Yedder may be an underdog for the Ligue 1 top scorer award and, by extension the European Golden Shoe, however, his exploits prove he could run the heavyweights close in the end.
#7 Romelu Lukaku (16 goals – 32 points)
Romelu Lukaku left Manchester United last summer with a lot to prove. Having joined Inter Milan, the striker made it a point to prove all his doubters wrong.
And that is exactly what he has done. The Belgian is currently the third-highest goalscorer in the Serie A with 16 goals. In fact, Lukaku’s goals have been key to Inter Milan title chase this season.
He has bullied defenders in the Italian top-flight and looks to be getting better with each passing game. Lukaku is likely to climb further up the ladder in the race for the European Golden Shoe.
