5 dark horses for the Premier League Golden Boot

#2. Gabriel Jesus

Manchester City v Swansea City - Premier League
*

City's 20-year-old Brazilian wonder kid Gabriel Jesus lit the Premier League on fire at the end of last season with some spell-binding performances leaving audiences shocked and wanting more of the kid. Jesus has continued from where he left off last season, with the Brazilian already having notched four goals this campaign.

Jesus who was signed at the start of last season joined the Citizens in January and made an instant impact before getting injured. Post his injury and return in April, the young Brazilian produced a glimpse of what was to come in the next couple of season. A sure shot pick in Brazil’s WC squad, Jesus will only better his chances of making the squad if he keeps banging in goals in all competitions.

With Guardiola playing Jesus and Aguero as part of a front two, a lethal partnership is in the works for City, as the Brazilian could pip his South American teammate Aguero to the golden boot this campaign, provided he stays healthy and puts in good performances.
