The likes of Antoine Griezmann, Luka Jovic, Eden Hazard, and Joao Felix could well present themselves as contenders for the golden boot next season.

Griezmann has been one of the most consistent performers in the La Liga in recent years and after sealing his dream move to Barcelona, the World Cup winner could thrive with better attacking quality around him.

Luka Jovic and Joao Felix, on the other hand, were breakthrough stars at Eintracht Frankfurt and Benfica. Although they were both owned by Benfica, the former was on loan at the Bundesliga club and went on to establish himself as one of the deadliest attacking talents in the country, scoring 17 league goals.

Felix meanwhile burst on to the scene with the Portuguese giants and was the dubbed to be the next big thing in world football as Atletico Madrid agreed to pay a record-breaking fee of €126 million to acquire his services.

Despite not being known for his goal-scoring exploits, Eden Hazard could have a thing or two to say about the race for the Golden Boot. After finally sealing his dream move to the Real Madrid, the Belgian superstar is Real Madrid's talisman and will look to improve on last season's tally of 21 goals in all competitions.
