Top Contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot at the start of the 2019/20 season

#1 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon, Arsenal)

Aubameyang won the Golden Boot last season

At 30 years old, the Gabon International is among the older players in this list, but there’s no denying the fact that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is one of the most dangerous strikers in the world right now. The former Borussia Dortmund striker made the move to the Premier League from the Bundesliga side in January 2018 and has settled in very well so far. The Gabon International has already scored 33 goals from 50 appearances in the league and last season, he found the net 22 times from 36 games, averaging 0.61 goals per game and a goal every 125 minutes played. It was enough to win him the Premier League Golden Boot.

This season too, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continues to be Unai Emery’s most important player, as was evident in the first game of the new season. As Arsenal struggled to break down a resolute Newcastle side, it was the Gabon International who scored his first goal of the new season and earned his team 3 vital away points. At the start of August, he is the number one contender for the 2019/20 Premier League Golden Boot.
