SAMUEL ETO´O CURRENTLY SPANISH & EUROPEAN LEADING GOAL SCORER

He’s a lean mean fighting goal scoring machine & is having his best
season in Spanish Football. FC BARCELONA Cameroon International
forward SAMUEL ETO´O is leading the goal scoring tally in the
Spanish 1º Division (“La Liga”) with 23 goals from 22 games, a super
effective rate. But that’s not all; the 27 year old (28 next month) is also
leading the race for the prestigious “Golden Boot Award” given to the
“Highest European Goal scorer” for the season with 46 points. As the
current table shows below, his only true rival is Marc Janko who plays in
the Austrian League & has more goals (30), but they count less due to the
lower category that Austrian Football is placed. Valencia CF & Spanish
International David Villa is third with 18 goals & is also in the race with
a chance if he can find a nice goal scoring run in the next games.

We will see at the end of the season who takes the “Golden Boot”, but
Eto´o is hot at this moment & if injury stays away, is favourite to take the
prize. Will Eto´o take the prize?
