Barcelona v Deportivo La Coruna - La Liga
Messi has always been among the top contenders for the Pichichi Trophy

#1 Andre Silva (Portugal, Sevilla)

Sevilla FC v Real Madrid CF - La Liga
Sevilla FC v Real Madrid CF - La Liga

Goals Scored: 7

The Portuguese striker is currently on loan from AC Milan and will be hoping to emulate the other outgoing Portuguese in the La Liga. Andre Silva will be looking to spice up the battle with Lionel Messi this season as he aims to get him hands on the Golden Boot and he has just the start he needs.

Silva has scored 7 goals from 11 games in all competitions and introduced himself to La Liga with a fantastic hattrick in his very first game of the season. Most strikers take time to adjust to a new league, to a new team, but Silva was phenomenal on his debut, firing Sevilla to a 3-0 win. The next 3 games saw him go through a temporary barren phase, as he failed to score against Villareal, Real Betis and Getafe, but Silva found the back of the net against Levante again. He then scored a brace against Real Madrid, showing the worl that he can do it at the highest level. He was also among the goals last weekend, scoring against Eibar.

With 7 goals in 7 games in the league, Andre Silva is ranked at the top among the contenders for the La Liga Golden Boot, but can he maintain his fabulous start to the season? Only time will tell.
