Alfie May to be League One Top Goalscorer

The League One season kicks off in just ten days, and it’s pretty obvious Birmingham City are going to be dominant. We’ve already backed them to win the league outright, and now we’re backing them to be hosts to the league’s top scorer.

The Blues signed Alfie May for €915k from Charlton Athletic. Whilst that might seem like big money to be splashing in England’s third tier, they’ve spent over £10 million in total this season, and don’t look like stopping anytime soon.

Don’t let his comparatively low fee fool you, May is going to be a key figure in Birmingham’s fight to secure the title. The centre-forward has scored 43 goals in the division over his past two seasons, and is already producing fine form in pre-season and looks like he’ll be firing for fun once again this season. Combine his ability with Birmingham’s stacked squad, and you have an almost sure-fire bet for the League One top scorer.

Should Birmingham end up successful in their ambitious bid for Fulham’s Jay Stansfield, the youngster might pose as competition, but Birmingham are likely to use the England youth international in wide positions. Even moreso, it looks like an uphill battle if Blues are to secure Stansfield’s signature.

What’s the tip?

For these reasons, our expert tipsters are backing Alfie May to be the League One top goalscorer. At odds of 5/1 on Ladbrokes, a £10 stake could return a hefty £60.
