Three Strong Contenders For Premier League Golden Boot This Season

1. Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)

 The veteran Sergio Aguero is among the favourites to win the Golden Boot this season. He is already one of the legends of the Premier League after having spent seven very successful seasons at Manchester City. Aguero has scored more than 200 goals in almost 300 matches for City and that tally should further increase this season. He scored 21 goals in the Premier League last season and was among the leading goal scorers.

Aguero had made a very promising start this season too as he has notched up a wonderful hat trick against Huddersfield. He is a perennial threat inside the penalty box and has superb ball-control and finishing abilities. He is also likely to get a continuous supply of balls as City have got the best midfield in the league. The likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva will be of great assist to the Argentinian in his quest for the Golden Boot.

2. Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Harry Kane, the captain of the English national team, won the Silver Boot last season by scoring 30 goals in the league. He has already scored 3 goals in 4 matches in the current season. Kane is very well-suited for a physical league like the EPL, as his height and strength allows him to overpower opposition defenders at times.

Moreover, he usually takes penalties for the Spurs and that ensures some extra goals every season. Kane has been very successful for Spurs in the last five years and scored more than 150 goals for them.

Spurs also boast a great midfield that features Christian Eriksen, Delle Alli and Lucas, who will all help a great deal with Kane’s goal tally.

Kane recently won the Golden Boot in the 2018 World Cup and should continue his good run in the league too.

3. Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United)

Romelu Lukaku has seen a meteoric rise in his career in the last few seasons. He moved to Manchester United from Everton last season and managed to score 19 goals in the league. He has scored a couple in the first four matches in the current season and should be among the contenders to win the Golden Boot.

United have got fast wingers like Alexis Sanchez and Marcus Rashford who should keep providing Lukaku with a lot of aerial crosses into the box. Lukaku has got phenomenal body strength for a footballer and is always a threat in the air. Moreover, he has got very good ball skills as well and is capable of dribbling past the defenders inside the box and scoring.
