Top 5 current contenders in the race for the European Golden Shoe 

#3 Edinson Cavani (Paris Saint-Germain)

Cavani has been in red-hot form for Paris Saint-Germain

Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani has always been in and around the top goal scorers in Europe’s best leagues in the last couple of seasons and he's at it again. The arrival of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe to PSG has helped Cavani’s influence in the team, with the striker claiming 24 goals for the club in Ligue 1, earning 48 points.

Cavani is a potent goal threat against any club and despite the club's exit in the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid, a league and domestic cup double is still on the cards for Unai Emery's team.

Cavani began this campaign well and has continued to score goals throughout the season, keeping up his great form. In fact, the Uruguayan even has an outside chance to finish with most goals this season in Europe's top leagues.
