Top Contenders for the European Golden Shoe Race: December 2018

#2 Emiliano Sala – (11 goals – 22 points)

Emiliano Sala's goal-scoring exploits match that of any top player in Europe

Nantes Center forward Emiliano Sala has been one of the most consistent players in Europe this season. The 28-year-old is not as privileged as his other contenders, but he has still managed to outscore many of the top players.

The Argentine could scoop his first European Golden Shoe award at the end of the season if he keeps finding the back of the net for the Ligue 1 minnows. Surprisingly, he sits join-top of the league’s top scorers chart, together with Kylian Mbappe.

Sala may not be a popular footballer, but he is delivering on the pitch and could stun the continent by emerging top scorer in Europe.

#1 Kylian Mbappe (11 goals – 22 points)

Mbappe is in the form of his life

France wonderkid Kylian Mbappe leads in the race for the European Golden Show award. The Paris Saint-Germain forward has netted 11 goals this season and joins Emiliano Salah on top of the Ligue 1 scoring charts.

However, the 19-year-old also has 4 assists to his name. Mbappe has already broken a lot of records this year, including becoming the youngest player after Pele to score in a World Cup final.

The France international could also become the youngest player to win the European Golden Shoe award should he maintain his goal scoring exploits till the end of the season.
