25 goals - 25 points
Amahl Pellegrino finished as the second top-scorer in the 2020 Norwegian Eliteserian, and his goals were enough for Kristiansund BK to register a 5th-place finish on the final standings.
Considering the fact that the Norwegian league is not in the upper echelons of league hierarchy, goals scored in the Eliteserian are only awarded coefficients of one in the European Golden Shoe ranking.
#6 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Mohamed Salah was an instant revelation upon signing for Liverpool from AS Roma, and he has played a massive role in the success enjoyed by the Merseyside outfit since then.

The Egypt international is a two-time Premier League Golden Boot winner but a maiden European Golden Shoe still eludes him.
That could change this season, as the 28-year-old is currently in fine form, with five goals scored from five matches played in December.
#5 Rauno Sappinen (FC Flora)

26 goals - 26 points
Unlike most other leagues in Europe, the Estonian Premium Liiga has concluded, meaning that Rauno would not get any chance to add to the 26 goals he scored.
His goals were enough to see Flora successfully defend their league title but the league's coefficient of one in the European Golden Shoe ranking means that Sappinen would likely drop further down the list before the conclusion of mainstream leagues.
