The Napoli striker is young, yet already recognized for his powerful and commanding presence upfront. The Uruguayan is by no means a new Capocannoniere contender, as he was the runner-up to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Di-Natale-c6306 last season.
Many believe that the forward would have beaten the eventual winner to the Golden Boot, had it not been for the two-match ban that cut his season short last year. That was the first season for Cavani at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003, but now the striker is all fired up to take
on the top scorers once again.
The Uruguayan has already scored 18 goals in the campaign, just one behind De Natale, and considering the striker’s and Napoli’s aggressive form, the lead may not stand for long. Cavani’s stars are on the rise and the Partenopei striker has already attracted
interest from the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and Real Madrid.
If the Azzurri striker manages to bridge the two-goal gap between him and leader http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-Maradona-c11160 to lift the prestigious accolade.
Cavani has proved himself a big match player unlike some others competing for the Golden Ball. The former Palermo star scored his first hat-trick of the season against Champions AC Milan, and also netted one and assisted two in his side’s 3-1 triumph over
Chelsea recently.
Some estimate that Cavani is valued at around £50 million, and it would be hard for his club to resist such an offer in the upcoming summer transfer window. Consequently, the player may move away from the Italian Serie A, and this season will be the last
chance for the Uruguayan to leave a mark in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 by winning the Golden Boot.

The Atalanta striker on loan from Udinese has already announced his presence in the Serie A with 15 goals from 25 games this season.
The Argentine’s stint with the Orobici this season has seen him assist three as well, and he also scored a spectacular hat-trick in the 4-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603. They player may look a bit far from the award considering the five-goal difference with leader Zlatan
Ibrahimovic, but the striker’s goals have come in groups.
At the moment Atalanta are struggling to finish their season on a positive note, and if they regain their touch, the striker can be expected to climb the goal-scoring ladder by leaps and bounds.
Dennis scored 12 goals from the first 16 matches of the season, and there is every reason for the player to regain his lost form and take the goal-scoring tally beyond the leaders. The Argentinean may not be the favourite to win the Golden Boot, but a talent
with such explosive firing power cannot be counted out of the race as yet.
Ten games is not a long time until the end of the season. The individual competition is equally fascinating, as the contest between teams jostling for silverware. There is the two-time king, followed by the temperamental magician who wants revenge, and then
there are two phenomenal talents who punished every team that made the mistake of underestimating their ability in front of the goal.
In my opinion, Antonio Di Natale edges all others as the favourite, and is on course to complete a hat-trick of awards this season.
