Erling Haaland is arguably one of the best strikers currently playing in Europe. Interestingly, not less than three players are ahead of the Manchester City star in the European golden boot race ahead of the November, 2024 international break. Who are these top goal poachers?
The on top of the list is Robert Lewandowski. This Polish centre-forward has been credited with 14 goals for Barcelona in La Liga. Since the goal coefficient of the Spanish topflight (as a Big 5 League) is 2, this gives him a total of 28 points ahead the break. Meanwhile, a look at his records shows that this 36-year-old striker has taken credits for 4 braces and one hat trick in his domestic league in the period under review.
Robert Lewandowski
This Poland international is tied with Alex Tamm in the first position. This 23-year-old player has scored twenty-eight goals for Kalju FC in Estonia, his home country. Goal coefficient of the Estonian top flight is 1 giving him 28 points. Unlike Lewandowski this young striker has been credited with 3 hat tricks in the League this season.
Tamm is followed by Reginaldo Ramires who has scored 25 goals for Riga in the Latvian first tier. For playing in a league with a coefficient of 1, this Brazilian has been credited with 25 points. Unlike the duo above, the reigning Virsliga golden boot winner had to wait till match day 8 of the season before netting his first goal in the competition. However, he has taken credits for 3 hat tricks within the period.
Haaland
Meanwhile, the 12 goals registered by Haaland so far in the English Premier League (EPL) have earned him 24 points. This is the same as Viktor Gyökeres who has been netted 16 goals in the Portuguese topflight.
