Senegal’s Diagne Top Messi, Mbappe in Europe Golden Boot Race

The likes of goal addict and Barcelona’s great Messi, PSG’s Kylian Mbappe and Cavani, it has emerged, sit behind Senegal’s Mbaye Diagne in the race for the European golden boot.

Diagne, 27, has been a standout scoring 20 goals in seventeen fixtures, one of the reasons behind Kasimpasa’s rise to third in the Turkish Super Lig.

He remains inevitably a hot-topic in the transfer window with all major clubs linked with his signing. Chelsea have courted his services without success before the goal-getter inadvertently leaked a photo of himself in Galatasary’s jersey last week.

Messi and his likes are a step behind the West African with the Argentine on 19 goals in 19 matches at the second position.

PSG’s Mbappe occupies the third slot on 18 goals in 14 games with teammate Edison Cavani at fourth with a return of 16 goals in 13 games.

In-demand Sampdoria star man Fabio Quagliarella, Tanzania forward Mbwana Samatta and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah are equal on goals with each notching 16.
