The 2017-18 campaign has been ongoing for months for some of Europe’s top-flights, meaning the race for the European Golden Shoe has already started.
While Cork City’s Sean Maguire and Albert Prosa of Estonian side FCI Thallinn are currently leading the pack with 20 and 19 goals respectively, they are unlikely to remain there for long as the continent’s big-guns prepare for their big kick-off.
The Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A all commence in the coming fortnight and the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Romelu Lukaku will be hoping to start banging the goals in to end Lionel Messi’s reign as the top league goalscorer in Europe.
