Top Contenders for the Serie A Golden Boot - January 2019

#2 Krzysztof Piatek (Poland, Genoa CFC)

Genoa CFC v Atalanta BC - Serie A

Goals Scored - 13

The Polish Striker continues to shine in the Serie A and has been matching shoulder to shoulder with the man leading the race right now. Piatek has made the Golden Boot race very interesting and his form has put the old guard of the Serie A well behind. He is also attracting a lot of attention from a lot of clubs around Europe, who are keeping a close watch on his phenomenal form this season.

A dismal run in October and November had dented his rise in the league, but Piatek picked up the pace in December. He failed to score in the first game of the month away to Torino but then scored three goals in the next three games. Even though he failed to score in the last two games in the month, it was enough to secure his position at a second place in the rankings.

Piatek has registered 62 shots so far, 31 of which have been on target. He is currently averaging a goal every 123 minutes and has now scored 13 goals from 19 games in the league. He is perhaps the only person who is making the man leading this list a little nervous, as, at the start of January 2019, Piatek is second in the race to the Serie A Golden Boot.
