Speaking to Sportskeeda, former Arsenal man Paul Merson gave his opinion on who will be in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot next season: “Mohamed Salah will once again be in the reckoning as he always is.
“It’s weird because he’s a winger, but that’s how good he is. I always like to pick someone out of the ordinary, so I’m going to go for Dominic Calvert-Lewin to be in the running for the Premier League Golden Boot as well.
“He started the 2020-21 season in stunning style, but Everton didn’t play to his strengths in the second half of the season.
“Rafa will make sure Calvert-Lewin gets the service he requires and urge his wingers to put balls into the box.
"He’s going to play every week and could have an outside chance of winning the Premier League Golden Boot if he builds on what he achieved last season.”
There's no doubt that Calvert-Lewin has gotten better and better over the last 2 seasons. However, his best tally of goals came last season when he scored 16 goals for Everton.
Salah has scored fewer than 20 goals (19) only once in his 4 seasons with Liverpool - we find it hard to believe that he will be beaten by an Everton player!
