The Spaniard is a new name in this list and is a part of the race due to his fantastic performance in January. He scored 4 goals in the 4 games in the month, a period where his team won 3 and drew one game.
At the start of the year, de Tomas drew a blank as Rayo Vallecano won 1-0 away to Real Valladolid. He then scored a fantastic hat-trick in the following game, as his team defeated Celta Vigo 4-2 at home. In the next game against Real Sociedad, de Tomas failed to score again as the game ended in a draw. Last weekend, he scored the only goal of the game as his team won 1-0 away to Alaves.
The 24-year-old is averaging a goal every 163 minutes played and has a goals-per-game ratio of 0.5. He has recorded 51 shots, 28 of which have been on target. With 9 goals from 18 games, de Tomas is 8th in the race to the La Liga Golden Boot.

About the author
Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
