La Liga 2019/20: Top 5 contenders for the Golden Boot

#4 - Iago Aspas

Iago Aspas is Celta's talisman

Iago Aspas is a household name in the Spanish La Liga and it could be argued that the striker's impact for Celta Vigo over the years is quite underrated.

The Spaniard saved his club from relegation on the final day of the 2012/13 season with a late goal, before going on to earn a move to Liverpool in the summer of 2013.

His time in England was forgettable, to say the least. Aspas looked largely out of place and although he showed glimpses of his quality, his move to Liverpool was deemed a failure as he never got to terms with the pace of football in the Premier League.

With limited knowledge of the English language and the fast-paced football, Aspas struggled at Liverpool and was loaned out to Sevilla where he spent one season on loan, before returning to Celta on a permanent deal.

Since 2016, he has scored 19,20, and 22 league goals in the subsequent seasons and has established himself as one of the most reliable strikers in the country.

His tally of 20 league goals last season saved Celta Vigo from the drop once again, as the Spanish club finished 17th in the La Liga table, 4 points above Girona who dropped to the second tier.

Aspas is a modern-day legend at his club and is still going strong at the age of 31, making him one of the most assured performers in the league.

Since his return to his beloved club, he has also been a regular for the Spanish national team and has registered 18 caps to his name, scoring 6 goals.

Aspas' consistency over the years has been quite admirable and there's no reason why he wouldn't score freely next season as Celta look to prolong their stay in the top division.
