5 players who could pip Lionel Messi to the European Golden Shoe this season

#4 Timo Werner

Timo Werner continues with his amazing performances in the German Bundesliga

RB Leipzig striker, Timo Werner has drawn himself among the elite finishers in Europe right now with his amazing exploits in front of goal within the past few years. Following a prolific outing that saw him record 19 goals in 37 appearances across all competitions last season, the attacker has taken up from where he left off.

With a whopping 20 goals from 21 Bundesliga appearances so far this season, he finds himself sitting fourth in the rankings for the European Golden Shoe. Only Robert Lewandowski and Ciro Immobile have scored more goals than he's done across Europe's top-five leagues as it stands.

Having the same number of goals with the iconic Cristiano Ronaldo and moving clear from last year's champion, Lionel Messi is a fantastic feat for the German finisher. With the way he is going, Werner is expected to a score few more goals before the end of the campaign. Who knows? He could go all the way and make the Golden Shoe his own.
