Top 10 Contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot: December 2018

#7 Mohamed Salah (Egypt, Liverpool)

Watford FC v Liverpool FC - Premier League

Goals Scored - 7

He might be enduring a tough start to the season, but Mohamed Salah is still among the thick of things in the race right now. The Egyptian has dropped one place from 6th last month to 7th here, but Salah looks like he is getting back to goalscoring form, especially after a decent month.

Even though he failed to score against Arsenal in the 1-1 draw at the start of November, Salah found the back of the net against Fulham in the very next game. He followed that up with another goal against Watford after the International Break, as Liverpool continued their dominance in the Premier League. This past weekend though, he failed to score against Everton in the Merseyside Derby.

Salah now has 7 goals from 14 games but has missed 8 big chances already this season. He has been relentless in his pursuit of goal though, the Egyptian has recorded 51 shots so far in his 14 games, with 22 of those on target.

Liverpool's current run of form means that there isn't too much pressure on the Egyptian to score, but Klopp will be desperate for his main man to start finding the back of the net consistently. As of now, Salah is currently 7th among the top contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot at the start of December.
