A striker reportedly offered to Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal earlier this summer has been tipped to win the Golden Boot in the Champions League – even ahead of Erling Haaland.
Haaland joined Manchester City earlier in the transfer window and has enjoyed a rip-roaring start to his Premier League career, netting twice on his debut in this competition last weekend.
Tottenham and Arsenal have both added striking options this summer in the form of Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus respectively.
But before both of those acquisitions, the North London duo were offered the opportunity to sign Robert Lewandowski [90 Min].
The Poland international wound up joining Barcelona despite speculation about the Gunners and Spurs potentially landing him.
And Owen Hargreaves, on BT Sport, believes that the 33-year-old hitman will out-score everybody in Europe’s elite competition this season.
A graphic was posted on the screen of the pundits’ selections for the forthcoming European campaign.
Joleon Lescott and Joe Cole both fancied the Manchester City sensation to land the Golden Boot in the Champions League, though Hargreaves tipped the former Bayern marksman.
Whether the speculation about Arsenal or the Lilywhites signing Lewandowski was ever genuine remains to be seen.
Irrespective of what happens with the legendary Pole this season, both Premier League outfits will be chuffed with their own striking additions during the summer months.
