5 early contenders for the EPL Golden Boot

Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Can Zlatan Ibrahimovic take the Premier League by storm?

#5 Diego Costa

Diego Costa
Chelsea’s fortunes have seemingly revolved Diego Costa’s form in recent times

It was tricky picking the last contender for this list, but Diego Costa is more than a worthy addition.

It’s still far from certain he’ll remain at Chelsea for the upcoming season but Antonio Conte seems keen on keeping him and has warded off all transfer rumours. Even in Chelsea’s awful season last year, Costa managed to score 12 league goals in 28 appearances.

Conte knows how to get the best out of each and every one of his players, the Italian got the absolute maximum out of Graziano Pelle and Eder for Italy in the Euros and won the Scudetto with Alessandro Matri and Quagliarella, so think of what he could for Diego Costa, a player who has already shown his prowess in England. This could well be his season, again.

Honourable Mentions :

Daniel Sturridge, if he stays injury free could bang in the goals for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool. The Anfield side should be buzzing under the former Dortmund manager and will surely score plenty of goals. Can Sturridge be consistently among them, is the question.

Romelu Lukaku, still has a lot of room to improve, and when you consider he has 60 Premier League goals in 139 appearances already, and is only 23 years old, you can only assert that he has tremendous potential. Can he finally announce his presence on the International stage under Ronald Koeman?
