Fulham was relegated in the 2020-21 season. Mitrovic didn't have a good season and like many more, he was doubted for his ability. The Fulham Manager protected him because he knew what Mitrovic is capable of. The Serbian Striker scored 43 goals in the Championship 2021-22 season & Fulham got promoted to the premier league once again. Mitrovic didn't just stop there, He scored 11 goals for his team this season & Fulham is sitting in the 7th Position. No one expected this to happen all of a sudden. This will be exciting to see Fulham if Mitrovic continued to perform at this level.

Rodrigo Moreno is a talented striker known for his ability to play in any position on the front line. When the team needs him as a winger to stretch the midfield of the opposition he delivers, also scores as a No 9 when the team needs a striker. Leeds United fans just love whatever he does on the field. The Spanish forward has scored 10 goals this season but Leeds are not in a decent position at this time. The fans have a lot of expectations on the shoulder of this striker. He has to score more goals to keep up with the rest of the 4 for the Golden Boot & has to lead his team to a respected position at the end of the season.

Erling Haaland is way ahead of the rest 4 players on the list, that means the Golden Boot award is settled right?
