Top contenders for the European Golden Shoe: January 2020

#2 Timo Werner (18 goals – 36 points)

Timo Werner is the hottest kid in Europe currently and his numbers are staggering

Over a year ago when Germany boss Joachim Low made Timo Werner his first-choice striker, a few eyebrows were raised. However, the young striker has proven his potency in front of goal this season.

Werner is one of the top scorers in the Bundesliga this season, having scored 18 goals for RB Leipzig. The 23-year-old is a different breed of striker and is as good in liking up play as he is when it comes to putting the ball at the back of the net.

Werner’s goals are the reason why RB Leipzig are challenging for the Bundesliga title and the side could go all the way if their striker keeps up with his form till May.

#1 Robert Lewandowski (19 goals – 38 points)

Lewandowski is the top scorer in Europe's top leagues with 19 goals

The undisputed king in Europe is Robert Lewandowski currently. The Bayern Munich striker has always been a goal machine, but one way or the other, he’s often been overshadowed by either Messi or Ronaldo.

This year, however, looks like his year and he is making his presence felt. Not only is he the top scorer in the Bundesliga, Lewandowski is also leading the race for the European Golden Shoe with 19 goals.

The Polish striker also has two assists to his name, but it’s his ruthlessness in front of goal that separates him from the rest. The season is long, but Lewandowski is definitely the early favourite to win the 2019-2020 European Golden Shoe.
