Top Contenders for the LaLiga Golden Boot: January 2019

#4 Iago Aspas (Spain, Celta de Vigo)

Real Sociedad v RC Celta de Vigo - La Liga

Goals Scored - 10

Iago Aspas has been sporadic in his goal scoring this season. He started the season with 5 goals in his first 6 games, however, he had to go through a little drought next, where he just managed 3 goals in the next seven games. But the Spaniard is still in the thick of things in the race to become the top scorer of La Liga, even though he has dropped down from second last month.

Aspas started the month on a high, scoring both goals in the 2-0 win over minnows SD Huesca. But he failed to find the back of the net again in the next 3 games as Celta Vigo won against Villareal, drew against Leganes and lost the last game of the year to Barcelona.

The Spaniard's habit of scoring irregularly has hurt both his team and his chances to finish at the top of the pile. However, with half of the season still left, Aspas will be hoping for a better run of games to make it tight at the top.

As of now, the Spaniard has scored 10 goals from 17 games in La Liga and has attempted 31 shots, 20 of which has been on target. At the start of the new year, Aspas is 4th in the race to the La Liga Golden Boot.
