It’s Erling Haaland versus everyone else in what’s already been another fireworks-laden campaign for the Premier League’s Golden Boot award.
Manchester City megastar Haaland is the fastest to 10 goals in a single Premier League season in adding another record to his resume.
The Norwegian has won the last two honors as the top goal scorer in a Premier League season, piling up 63 goals in his first two years in the English top flight.
Trying to chase him down will be the usual suspects — Mohamed Salah, Bukayo Saka, Heung-min Son — as well as new faces and even some teammates, as Chris Wood and Bryan Mbeumo have used purple patches to move within sight of the big Norwegian.
Below you’ll find the candidates for the 2024-25 Premier League Golden Boot, as well as a little recent history and some odds on who’s believed to be among the contestants for this season’s individual honor.
Erling Haaland shrugged off a month on the shelf with an injury and a host of challenges to win his second-straight Golden Boot.
Now 24, Haaland will be the favorite to win it a third time, too, though there are a hungry pack of chasers lining up to race him to the hardware.
Who isn’t? Cole Palmer’s first full-time Premier League season saw the Chelsea man level with Haaland late in the season.
Ollie Watkins looked the front-runner for some time, while Mohamed Salah’s already on the board this season and Alexander Isak will expect nothing less than another 20-goal season (He’s got work to do).
Luis Diaz is flying under new Liverpool boss Arne Slot, while Senegalese star Nicolas Jackson and Cameroonian forward Bryan Mbeumo are in good early-season form.
Dominic Solanke was nearly a 20-goal man last season with Bournemouth and has joined Ange Postecoglou’s chance-creating Spurs attack.
Taking a spin around the oddsmakers’ preferences shows very little expectation of someone other than Haaland leading the way this season, as we’re seeing -333 odds for Haaland t
o finish first on the goals list.
Salah is next around +1000, with Isak and Watkins at +1600 and Palmer at a solid +2000.
