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

#5 - Wissam Ben Yedder

The 2018/19 season was Ben Yedder's most prolific one yet domestically

Although Wissam Ben Yedder is not among the most flamboyant players in the league, his efficiency and a keen eye for goals make up for his lack of flair.

The Frenchman, fresh from enjoying the most prolific season of his top-flight career, will look to keep scoring goals in order to stake his claim for a place in the national team.

After signing for Sevilla from Toulouse, Ben Yedder has seen his stock rise dramatically, going on to become one of the best strikers in the country and being called up by Didier Deschamps for France.

The 28-year-old scored 18 league goals last season and helped Sevilla to a 6th place finish in the La Liga, securing Europa League qualification for the forthcoming season.

The strikers exploits last season saw him linked to Manchester United in a big-money move, as the Red Devils look to replace Romelu Lukaku, who reportedly has his heart set on a move to Inter.

Ben Yedder ticks a lot of boxes you look for in a modern-day striker and spearheaded Sevilla to a spot in Europe last season, establishing himself as a firm fan-favorite.

Aside from his goalscoring prowess, the forward has multiple facets to his gameplay and is regarded as a complete center-forward.

He drops deep to facilitate link-up play, presses the ball high up the field and his work-rate off the ball is outstanding, making him such a hard player to defend against.

Having been on the standby list for France's World Cup squad, Ben Yedder was handed his first start earlier last month, scoring in France's 4-0 demolition of Andorra in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier.

In the prime of his career now, Ben Yedder will look to carry on scoring goals for Sevilla in the hope that he can rack up more caps for his national side.
