The race to be crowned the Premier League’s top scorer is very much on this season

News Insights

  • Erling Haaland is the reigning Premier League Golden Boot winner.
  • The Norwegian has been out injured since November 2023, but he tops the scoring charts once again.
  • He is in direct competition with Mohamed Salah to be crowned the 2023/24 Golden Boot winner.
  • With Haaland and Salah both missing games this term, will somebody else force their way into the mix? 

Every season, the race is on between Premier League strikers to be crowned the Golden Boot winner, as they look to aid their team’s cause, through putting the ball in the back of the net. 
 
With an impressive winning alumni in the Premier League era, the Golden Boot is the ultimate accolade for any top-flight forward. 
 
Erling Haaland won the award last season, and he remains in pole position this term, but the challengers are lining up to knock the Norwegian off his throne.

Returning Erling 

Having averaged better than a goal per game last season, no player has had the impact on the Premier League that Erling Haaland has in recent years. 
 
36 goals in 35 appearances saw him canter to the Golden Boot crown and he is the hot favourite to repeat the feat with all EPL soccer betting sites
 
His tally of 14 in 16 games this season leaves him well on track to challenge for the Golden Boot once more and with the Norwegian now back from injury, he looks well placed again to win the Premier League Golden Boot at $1.40 with GetSetBet.  
 
Sensational Salah 

In a similar vein, Mohamed Salah has long been the key man for Liverpool in front of goal and the Egyptian has hit his straps again this term. 
 
Having picked up an injury at the African Cup of Nations, his fitness status is unknown, but Salah remains a threat in every game he plays. 
 
He will be key if Liverpool are to have any hope of winning the Premier League title once more and he will return to the fold with a point to prove at $7.00 with MidasBet
 
Two horse race? 

In terms of consistency, both Haaland and Salah certainly don’t have any points to prove when it comes to Premier League goal scoring. 
 
However, new contenders are always in the mix in the Premier League and Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke is hot on the heels of the leading two. 
 
With 13 goals to his name, Solanke has been in sublime form this term and he is $20.00 with BoomBet
 
Elsewhere, Son Heung-min is out of Premier League action currently, as he is with his native South Korea at the Asian Cup. 
 
However, Son has scored 12 goals this term and he is also in the hunt for the Golden Boot at $8.00 with TopSport.
