#8 Andre Silva (Portugal, Sevilla FC)
Goals Scored - 8
Andre Silva started the season with a lot of promise but the goals have dried up at the end of the year. He failed to score in October, then scored 1 goal in 3 games in November. This meant that he needed a strong December to stay among the leaders of the race. Unfortunately, the month was not kind to him.
He started the month away to Alaves, where his goal drought continued. Subsequently, the Portuguese failed to find the back of the net in the next 3 games and ended December without any goals. He now has 9 goals from 22 games this season for Sevilla and in La Liga, he has scored 8 goals from 16 appearances.
Silva is now averaging a goal every 171 minutes and has registered 32 shots in La Liga, 19 of which have been on target. Ironically, he had just one shot in the whole of December and for the player who was tipped to set LaLiga on fire, reality has caught up fast. At the start of January, the Portuguese is 8th among the contenders for the LaLiga Golden Boot and is sliding dangerously away from the competition.
