Premier League top scorers 2025/26: Who will win the Golden Boot?

2026 starts with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland in the driving seat in the Premier League Golden Boot race.

The Etihad goalmachine added to his tally during the busy festive period. He has been back to his brutal best in 2025/26 and few top-flight defences have been able to stop him from finding the net.

Haaland has won two Golden Boots in his first three seasons at Man City and, barring an injury, number four is starting to look nailed on this term.

Mohamed Salah stormed to the top scorer crown last season as Liverpool lifted the Premier League but has struggled in 2025/26 and is now at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Haaland is a safe bet to finish top of the scoring charts, but who could push him closest?

RadioTimes.com has all you need to know about the Premier League top scorers in 2025/26.

Premier League Golden Boot 2025/26 race

Erling Haaland still has a clear advantage in the Golden Boot race but has seen his lead eaten into by Brentford forward Igor Thiago, who bagged a hat-trick against Everton recently.

Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo sits third with nine, while Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike, Brighton forward Danny Welbeck, Leeds United target man Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Crystal Palace marksman Jean Philippe-Mateta all have eight to their name.

As we approach the halfway point in the season, Haaland is still the heavy favourite and won't take his foot off the gas as he aims to fire Man City to the title.
