10 Early Predictions For Premier League 2020-21 Season
7. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Will Win The Golden Boot
Within every Premier League season, aside from the top title itself, there are plenty of plaudits and achievements to be won. The race for the Golden Boot trophy is one of the most exciting throughout any season, pitting the league's greatest goalscorers against each other.
With every striker getting a clean slate going into next season, it's hard to imagine Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang not a favourite to lift the title. Last season, the striker fell short by just one goal, and the season before he split the title with Mo Salah and Sadio Mane. Even during his first season in England, the Gabon striker netted ten goals despite only moving to Arsenal in January.
Aubameyang is a natural goalscorer, and hit the ground running in the Premier League, netting a ridiculous 54 goals in just 85 games. He even scored more times in his first 50 games for Arsenal than Thierry Henry did, and there's no way he isn't continuing his form into next season.
Of course there will be competition from the likes of Raheem Sterling, Mo Salah, and Jamie Vardy, but Aubameyang is going to be relied upon by his club for the majority of their goals. 2021 will be the year the striker wins the Golden Boot trophy all to himself.
