The competition for the highly sought-after Premier League Golden Boot is underway once again, as renowned football stars prepare to vie for the esteemed title of the league's top goal scorer.
Erling Haaland stands out among his Premier League peers in the race for the leading goal scorer of the 2023/24 season. Both figuratively and literally, he surpasses his colleagues, thanks to his exceptional performance in front of the net last season. The Norwegian striker proved to be a lethal force, breaking the record for the most goals scored in a single Premier League season (36 goals) and ultimately securing the Golden Boot award for the 2022/23 campaign.
Harry Kane, the second-place finisher, would have been the winner in most other seasons, having scored 30 goals. He has now transferred from Spurs to Bayern Munich. It will be intriguing to see who Erling Haaland will compete against for the Golden Boot in the 2023/24 season.
JistGoal is ready to document the achievements of the most prolific goal scorers in the upcoming 2023-24 season, as the likes of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, and a number of talented attackers from Liverpool such as Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo, as well as Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli, are all expected to find the back of the net regularly.
10. Bukayo Saka | Arsenal | 14 goals
Bukayo Saka emerged as a standout and reliable young talent in global football last season. With his exceptional displays and 14 goals, he played a crucial role in Arsenal's strong title pursuit last year. Mikel Arteta will surely be expecting greater contributions from the 21-year-old as Arsenal aims to improve upon their previous season's performance.
9. Phil Foden | Manchester City | 14 goals
Foden's exceptional dribbling skills and intelligent positioning have consistently caught the eye, and now he has also demonstrated his ability to score goals on top of that.
8. Son Heung-min | Tottenham Hotspur | 15 goals
After a remarkable 23-goal season, where he tied with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah for the Golden Boot, the South Korean player had a disappointing performance last season, managing only 10 goals and six assists.
However, with the appointment of former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou, known for his attacking style of play, and the acquisition of talented midfielder James Maddison, Son is gradually returning to his peak form.
This resurgence is crucial for Tottenham Hotspur, as Son will be relied upon heavily to shoulder the scoring responsibilities following Harry Kane's departure.
7. Jarrod Bowen | West Ham United | 15 goals
With Rice heading to north London, West Ham will need a new standout player to step up, and the responsibility will fall once more on Conference League sensation Jarrod Bowen in the attacking third.
As a goal-scorer and playmaker, Bowen consistently provides his team with opportunities during offensive transitions. His impressive performances were instrumental in West Ham's strong finish last season, culminating in their first European trophy win since 1965 in the Europa Conference League.
6. Dominic Solanke | Bournemouth | 17 goals
Dominic Solanke made an impressive impact last season by contributing 13 goals in the top division, establishing himself as one of Bournemouth's standout players in their successful fight for survival.
5. Alexander Isak | Newcastle | 17 goals
The smooth Swede missed the initial part of the 2022/23 season due to a thigh injury. It wasn't until after the World Cup that Newcastle supporters witnessed the full potential of their record-breaking signing. Upon his comeback, Alexander Isak performed like a fresh January acquisition, scoring eight goals in their final 19 matches and providing two assists, propelling the Magpies to Champions League qualification.
With flair, boldness, the ability to outwit defenders, and a deadly finishing touch, he is demonstrating his undeniable talent and appears increasingly likely to cement his status as one of the premier strikers in the English top division in 2023-24.
4. Mohamed Salah | Liverpool | 17 goals
Despite Liverpool's lackluster performance last season, Mohamed Salah still managed to score an impressive 19 goals. However, he did not reach his usual level of brilliance. This season, Salah will be determined to elevate both his own performance and the fortunes of the Reds.
3. Ollie Watkins | Aston Villa | 19 goals
Ollie Watkins has been a standout performer for Aston Villa throughout the last three seasons. The talented English player has played a crucial role in the team's resurgence under the management of Unai Emery, who took over from Steven Gerrard in October of the previous year.
With an impressive tally of 15 goals in the Premier League last season, Watkins played a significant part in securing Aston Villa's qualification for the Europa League. His exceptional form has carried over into the current campaign, and he will undoubtedly strive to maintain his high level of performance.
2. Cole Palmer | Chelsea | 20 goals
The arrival of 21-year-old Manchester City talent Cole Palmer was perhaps the most unexpected signing during Chelsea's summer spree. In his short time at the club, Palmer has quickly established himself as a crucial player in the Blues' attacking style. With his constant drive to create and score goals, his impressive performances have certainly captured the attention of the fans.
1. Erling Haaland | Manchester City | 20 goals
Erling Haaland dominated the top-scorer battle last season, making the Golden Boot race in Premier League history quite uneventful. The Norwegian striker scored an impressive 36 league goals in just 35 matches during the 2022/23 season, including four hat-tricks. He proved wrong those who doubted his ability to adapt to English football quickly.
Haaland continues to shine in the current 2023-24 campaign, showing no signs of slowing down. Barring any injuries or unexpected decisions by Guardiola, he is on track to be the top goal-scorer in the league this year.
