The answer is most definitely yes, Sterling can win the Golden Boot if he continues his current form and remains consistent until the end of this season.

The Englishman already has 14 goals in 20 Premier League appearances, which is five more than his highest tally in any previous season, with his league-high being for Liverpool in the 2013/14 season.

And although he doesn’t have a track record of scoring these many goals, he is currently in the form of his life under Guardiola.

Despite playing as a winger, he now takes up the positions of a striker, and that is exactly what is seeing him score so many goals. He has evidently improved in front of goal and is reaping the rewards of that, along with getting into such good positions.

Ad

Harry Kane has been magnificent once again this season and has four more goals than his fellow Englishman, but that is certainly a gap Sterling could shorten. Additionally, with the number of goals Manchester City score, it would be no surprise if he does win the individual accolade come the end of the season.

Without injury worries, the young star could win the Golden Boot, we will just have to see if his incredible form continues for the remainder of this season.
