Ranking Adam Armstrong’s top five goals
Newcastle loanee Adam Armstrong has now scored 12 league goals this season – more than any other professional player in the English game.
His brace for Coventry City on Tuesday night bumped him ahead of Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy, who has been his own unlikely success story.
Some Magpies fans have been calling for him to be recalled, but the majority want him to continue his education with the Sky Blues until January at least.
Another option could be to loan Armstrong out to a Championship club from January until the end of the season – something that worked for both Patrick Bamford and Benik Afobe.
