Ghana's Waris leads Messi, Ronaldo and Falcao in European Golden Shoe hunt
Posted On Saturday, 27th October 2012
Majeed Waris is rated top striker in Europe
By Akyereko Frimpong Manson
Ghana’s Sweden-based striker Abdul Majeed Waris is the best goalscorer in Europe, according to the European Golden Shoe statistics.
The Hacken hot-shot, 21, leads the way in the race for the European Golden Shoe, with 22 goals and 22 points.
The points are calculated by multiplying the reputation of the league by the number of goals scored by the player.
Barcelona legend Lionel Messi lies in second place with 11 goals and 22 points in the La Liga which means his points are multiplied by two.
The former Right to Dream Academy graduate’s goals, on the other hand, are multiplied by one as the Swedish Allsvenskan has a lower rating.
The Black Stars striker is likely to increase his tally in the competition as there are three more games to go in the Swedish league.
On-fire Columbian hit-man Falcao, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo are all in the top 20.
Waris will join Russian giants Spartak Moscow when the European transfer window opens in January.

God bless this young man..
he can forget than european golden boot cos even if he scores 50 goals and someone from the top 4 leagues scores 26 goals,that player will be ahead of him..
Wow!! This is great, but please am pleading with you not to go that racist country called Russia. You’re very young and have a lot to achieve in the coming yrs, advise your agent to secure a deal for you in the Dutch Eredivisie. It will be a perfect destination for you to aid your development then the BIG clubs will come knocking after you become a much established player. Moving to Russia will be a disaster, pls think twice. Anyway congrats for this glory, all the best Warris.
Please give this guy a chance in the starting line up.Please let keep experiment till we find the right guy.If we want to successful and win tournaments, Asamoah Gyan is not the answer. We’ve played this guy for 15 plus years without winning a single competition.He is a liability than an asset.Please wake up Appiah, GFA and stop taking bribes
I dont know why this waris guy is going to do in russia… thats the end him… i think it would have better for him in sweden than russia..if is because of money,then i wish him good luck but he ll never ever be the same player again…. adebayor said he ll rather play for kotoko rather than play in the russian league and for such a highly rated player to say that leaves enough room for thought and concerned for most african players!!!! Viva the revoluctiooooooooololllll!!!
Are you God? aaaaaaaaba
Every team needs goal scorers so if warris wil bang in the goals for them thus all. Even if they hate blacks, the wil luv him for his goals
Typical black man’s thinking!! “Even if they hate blacks, the will luv him for his goals”.
Where is your pride my dear black brother? Selling your pride for money? Have you also asked yourself, what the opposition teams will chant to him? His team might love him, but what about the rest of the league? Remember the opposition is the majority here, since his team is just one of about 16-20 teams.
Your thinking for me is very narrow my brother… and with such thinking, the white man will always be ahead of you.. Wake up from your sleep Mr. Black man! Wake Up and face reality!! Read more black books from the Pan Africans and stop reading the white mans books for a while. These guys are always hiding the truth from the world. They simply don’t like you, cuz you are the chosen one!! However at least some countries won’t sing those chants when you play there. In that case, the guy will be able to concentrate on his talent and develop well. That is where the guy should go and not where he will suffer racism.
I beg to differ from your view.
Pls Gfa, Coach AA lets get Memphis Depay to play for Ghana before it’s too late.
i am also on my knee dat gfa should do something about the leftback.my suggestion is for gfa to take a well look at wa allstars player joshua otoo.i bravely know he will succeed at the national team,he has reach at his peak to be called.
if u still dont get me,go back and watch dis joshua otoo game played
Waris has no choice in the matter, his Swedish Club Hacken is selling him to Russian Club Spartak Moscow. At least he will be in a major city like Moscow and if he does his job well and scores goals he will be a super star and a fan favorite.
My advice is talk to some of the African players in Russia and find out how they are coping with the weather. Dress for the weather wear appropriate clothing, long thermal underwear and gloves during the games. get some wool socks and then do what you do best score goals, maybe an EPL, Italian or Spanish team will rescue you from Russia.
Coach Appiah I did not hear Jordan’s name mentioned in the same breath as Messi, Ronaldo and Ibra, but Waris is right up there with the European top guns. For the doubters of Waris his selection has already been statistically analyzed and if he was playing for a bigger Club he would be doing about the same as he is in the Swedish league if not better. Please give this guy Waris some respect he has earned it. He should be starting next to Gyan and getting equal time, 90 minutes like Jordan, the cry baby, used to get for the Black Stars!
aa dont call warris to afcon. WHEN WILL U FOOLS REALISE THAT THE SWEDISH LEAGUE IS SHIT, NO QUALITY. WARRIS WILL BE A BUST IN RUSSIA. EVEN IF HIS CLUB QUALIFIES TO THE CHAMPS LEAGUE, THEY WILL BE TAKEN OUT IN RD 1..IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT SOCCER, U DONT GO TO RUSSIA. HE WILLBE PLAYING WITH RACIST PLAYERS WHO WONT GIVE HIM THE BALL TO SCORE. THEREFORE, HIS PRODUCTION RATE WILL GO DOWN.
BOAKYE YIADOM, AFFUM ARE BETTER STRIKERS THAN WARRIS
aa waris paa? russians manufacture racism n sell it. why nt wait a while 2 b spotted by d big clubs? ask quincy,eto,obafemi n they wil tel u how racism smells there.
so joe if russia is so bad why Eto is still here and why Roberto caros is still around with his formal club.There are a lot of african players her now , who are playing good , so supports the boy to come.for you information the highest goal score last season in Russia league was africa player for ivory coast. Sadou Dumba.
I mean the highest goal score is from ivory coast that is Sadou Doumbia and thirds is also from ivory coast.
GH FUO …. for your own sake – stop embarrassing yourself …. where do B.Yiadom and Affum rank on the list of scorers that is designed to factor in the quality of the league they play in?
CAPS ARE FOR IDIOTS!
Please stop disgracing yourself and your family on GSN
oluman, i dont understanD YOUR QUESTION. YOUR PARENTS ARE IDIOTS FOR SLEEPING WITH EACH OTHER, AND FOR BIRTHING U, MODAFUCKA!
NOW LMME ANSWER UR QUESTION. LIKE I SAID ON HERE BEFORE, THE EGYPTIAN LEAGUE AND EVEN SERIE B HAVE MORE QUALITY PLAYERS THAN THE SWEDISH LEAGUE. SECONLDY, UNLIKE WARRIS..AFFUM AND YIADOM HAVE PLAYED COMPETITIVE AFRICAN SOCCER BEFORE THEY WENT ABROAD. THAT MEANS, THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH AFRICAN STYLE OF SOCCER. HOW MANY COMPETENT GH STRIKERS DO U KNO OFF OUTTHERE THAT WARRANT SELECTION FOR AFCON 2013? SUBPAR JORDAN AYEW, TAKYI, ABU WERE ALL BROUGHT IN FOR AFCON 2012 AND WAT DID THEY DO? LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF TIMES WARRIS HAS BEEN INVITED FOR GBSTAR GAMES AND LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF GOALS HE HAS SCORED? JUST BCS THE GUY IS CORING BUCKETS IN SWEDEN DONT MEAN HE IS GREAT. THE SWEDISH LEAGUE IS WEAK. WEAKER THAN MLS IN CASE U DONT KNO. YET, U HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY IM AN IDIOT? THANKS…FOR YOUR SAKE, I HOPE AA CALLS WARRIS TO AFCON 2013 SO U CAN SEE. ASK YOURSELF WHY WARRIS WENT THRU WITH THIS RUSSIAN OFFER RIGHT AWAY. ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS WILL HAV =E WAITED AFTER AFCON 2013 OR AFTER THE END OF THE SWISS SEASON TO MAKE A MOVE. BUT NO, HE CASHED IN RIGHT AWAY. WARRIS KNOWS HE IS NT THAT GREAT A PLAYER, SO HE IS CASHING IN NOW WHEN HE IS HOT. JUST WATCH, HE WILL BE A BUST IN RUSSIA
Masa u guy dnt knw anytyn abt soccer cuz a.Gyan has nothin else in 2 offer 2 de b.Stars let AA try other strikers nd we wyl win trophies.wytout him we 7 against lesotho nd wyt him we scored onli 2,1 against malawi.Kwasies3m
GHU FUO
reasons your answer shows you are an idiot:
1) Yiadom didn’t play competitive football in Ghana, unless you call colts and Brong Ahafo 1st Division ‘competitive’ – also that would mean he was playing Division 1 football in Ghana at 15 years old (which is impossible)….. another short career for an age cheater then.
2) Charles Takyi is an attacking midfielder and Abu is a defensive midfielder not strikers.
3) In the Allsvenskan at similar ages Henrik Larsson scored 17 goals in 30 games and Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored 12 goals in 26 games. That does not mean Waris will be better than them but to dismiss his goal scoring record this season means you have never played football, you are an idiot and on Affum and Yidom’s pay-roll.
4) The European transfer windows close after the end of AFCON and the Swiss league is ranked lower than Sweden by UEFA.
5) Warris is not how is name is spelt
6) YOU USE CAPS
7) Spartak are in the Champions League and have a top coach, 3 years of playing there and Waris will a top player for Ghana.
oh and 8) your username is THINK BIG but you think like a krobo villager
olumaIM GOING TO DUSGRACE U ON THIS WEBSITE AND DO IT WELL.
1. YIADOM HAS MORE AFRICAN SOCCER EXPERIENCE THAN WARRIS. YIADOM NOT ONLY PLAYED FOR BECHEM UNITED, BUT GH U20 AS WELL IN 2010.
2. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THESE 2 GUYS WERE TOUTED AS PROMISING, YET THEY WERE INVITED TO AFCON AND BOMBED. TAKYI AND ABU WERE BOTH CRAP AT AFCON 2012…MIND U, ABU CAME FROM THE BSAME RIGHT TO DREAM ACADEMY WARRIS CAME FROM.
3. ABOA, U ARE THE IDIOT. LARSSON AND IBRAHIMOVICH BOTH ATTAINED CRITICAL FAME AND NOTORIETY NOT FROM PLAYING IN THAT USELESS, MEDIOCRE SWEDISH LEAGUE, BUT FROM OUTSIDE SWEDEN. LIKE I KEEP SAYING, DONT INVITE WARRIS TO GBSTAR UNTIL HE GOES TO A PROVEN LEAGUE AND DOES WELL THERE. WE CANT AFFORD TO INVITE PLAYERS AND HAVE THEM PERFORM HORRIBLY FOR GH AT MAJOR COMPETITIONS. WAT DONT U GET?
4. U CONSIDER THE SWEDISH LEAGUE BETTER THAN THE SWISS LEAGUE? WAT A DUMMY. HOW MANY SWEDISH CLUBS HAVE MADE IT FAR IN THE UEFA CHAMPS LEAGUE COMPETITION COMPARED TO SWISS CLUBS? AH, GYIMIFUO
5. AND SO WAT? CAN U READ WAT IM WRITING?
6. WADWEN SUA! WHO CARES HOW HIS NAME IS EPLT ON THIS FORUM, EVEN STEVIE WONDER KNOWS WHOM WE R TALKING ABOUT?
7.WARRIS IS NOT RIPE, UNCOOKED TO GO TO AFCON. LET HIM GO AND PRIME HIMSELF IN A COMPETITIVE LEAGUE BEFORE HE IS INVITED TO GBSTAR. YIADOM AND AFFUM ARE CONSISTENT AND HAVE ACHIEVED LONGER SUCCESS THAT WARRIS IN QUALITY, COMPETITIVE LEAGUES. PUT WARRIS IN ASASSUOLO/JUVENTUS JERSEY OR SMOUHA JERSEY, AND BELIEVE ME HE WONT BE ABLE TO MATCH THE SUCCESSES OF THESE 2 GH PLAYERS. SAME WITH JORDAN AYEW. THEREFORE, JORDAN AND WARRIS ARE NOT RIPE FOR AFCON 2013.
