Could Marko Arnautovic be an outside bet for the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2018/2019 season?
The 29-year-old Hammers scored his fifth goal in four pre-season games yesterday as West Ham played Ipswich. He has scored in every pre-season game he has been involved so far carrying on his form of the later part of last season.
Most bookies have him as an outside 66/1 chance to win the golden boot but BetFred, Unibet and Royal Panda will all offer fans 80/1 with all three offering signup offers of free bets worth between £20 and £3o.
Arnie scored 11 goals and made 6 assists last season but most of these came in the second half of the season after David Moyes made him a striker. Anautoroic finished the Gold Boot competition in joint fourteen lasts season but will be looking to at least double that this season.
Salah won last year’s golden boot with 32 goals with Harry Kane on 30. Aguero came in third on 21 with Jamie Vardy on 20.
If Marko plays all season as the central striker and stays fit, he could get 25 goals. I will be happy if we have unity at the club and a solid season playing good football….a cup run would be nice !!
I’d rather see two or three or our players score 15+ goals this season, than one challenge for the Golden Boot.
blimey always doom & gloom on here the bloke is on fire in front of goal at the mo hopefully takes it into the league this season another couple of decent signings even as back up to what we have at the mo can see us having a decent season for a change
No where near it unless we buy a proper 10 (a playmaker who can get our front 3 moving.
Barring injury (touch wood) he’ll win the Claret and Blue boot by a country mile.
At 66-1 would be worth an each way bet for sure, it all stems from how many good chances we will create for him if he stays fit I could see him getting over 20 for us but hard to see against PL defenders him hitting 30 and Salah / Aguero / Jesus / Kane / Vardy / Lukaku thats a lot of firepower to win the thing, Vardy without Mahrez will be interesting, there are also players like Lacazette who with a season behind them might be better. If he stays fit Aguero would be my choice this season I think Mahrez will add another dimension down their right side, with De Bruyne, Silva etc hard to bet against City strikers.
