7 Early Contenders To Win Premier League 2017/18 Golden Boot
1. Alvaro Morata
Spanish striker Morata was the big money signing at Stamford Bridge this summer, and arguably the most important as manager Antonio Conte continues to isolate Diego Costa.
Morata struggled for game time at Real Madrid last season as Karim Benzema often kept him out of the starting line-up, but this did not stop him bagging 15 goals as he played an important supporting role at the Bernabeu.
Playing second fiddle was never going to be enough though for Morata, and he has arrived in England seemingly with a point to prove. Three goals from his first three games for the Blues have demonstrated his prowess in front of goal while giving Chelsea fans a welcome suggestion that perhaps Costa won’t be missed.
Morata is in a side which creates plenty of chances, and with a returning Eden Hazard and the ever impressive Cesc Fabregas pulling the strings in the middle, Morata will find himself with ample opportunities to rack up the goals.
