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

Despite drawing a rare blank this weekend, Man City striker Erling Haaland remains in a commanding position in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot.

Haaland has two in his first three seasons at the Etihad 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 and though he is showing positive signs after a slow start, he faces a mammoth task to add another to his collection this term – particularly given he will be absent during AFCON.

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

Premier League Golden Boot 2025/26 race

Erling Haaland is in frightening form and at this rate, it is hard to see anyone catching him – particularly if Man City can sustain their title challenge.

Brentford's Igor Thiago is his closest competition, adding his ninth in 2025/26 this weekend, and Brighton striker Danny Welbeck, in third place, is doing his England prospects no harm as he continues his scoring form.

Salah has been Haaland's rival in recent campaigns but is already 10 goals behind him in the goal charts.
