As the 2024-25 Premier League season progresses, the race for the Golden Boot is heating up with several forwards vying for the coveted title of top scorer. Leading the charge is Mohamed Salah of Liverpool, who has been in superb form, scoring 16 goals so far. Salah’s consistent ability to find the back of the net has made him one of the most feared attackers in the league, and he is well on his way to competing for another Golden Boot award.
Following closely behind is Erling Haaland of Manchester City with 16 goals. The Norwegian striker has continued his impressive form from last season, where he shattered records, and he remains a key figure in City’s attacking setup. Haaland’s physicality, speed, and finishing ability make him a constant threat to opposition defenses, and his goal tally reflects his influence on the pitch.
In third place, Alexander Isak of Newcastle has been a revelation, with 15 goals to his name. The Swedish forward has been instrumental in Newcastle’s attacking play, showing excellent positioning and composure in front of goal. Isak’s combination of technical skill and clinical finishing has made him one of the standout players of the season.
Chelsea’s Cole Palmer is another name to watch, with 14 goals. The young forward has impressed with his directness and creativity, making a significant impact in the Blues’ attack. Palmer’s ability to score from different positions and his link-up play with teammates have made him a vital part of Chelsea’s offensive strategy.
Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and Nottingham Forest’s Chris Wood are both tied on 13 goals. Mbeumo has been a constant threat for Brentford, showcasing his sharp movement and finishing ability, while Wood’s physical presence and aerial prowess have helped him score consistently for Forest. Both players have been key to their respective teams’ attacking setups.
Yoane Wissa of Brentford has also been impressive, with 11 goals to his name. His pace and versatility have allowed him to operate effectively across the forward line, contributing significantly to Brentford’s offensive play. Alongside him, players like Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth), Matheus Cunha (Wolves), and Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) are also making their presence felt, each with 10 goals.
Other players in the mix for the Golden Boot include Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea), who has 9 goals, and a group of players with 8 goals, including Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace), James Maddison (Tottenham), Luis Díaz (Liverpool), Raul Jiménez (Fulham), Liam Delap (Ipswich), and Kai Havertz (Arsenal). These players are all in the hunt, and their form in the second half of the season could see them climb the standings.
As the season progresses, there are several forwards who could still make a strong push for the Golden Boot. Dominic Solanke (Tottenham), Alex Iwobi (Fulham), Brennan Johnson (Tottenham), Jørgen Strand Larsen (Wolves), and Jhon Durán (Aston Villa) are all on 7 goals, and their goal-scoring form could see them rise further up the rankings.
Son Heung-Min of Tottenham, who has 6 goals, remains a key player for his team. Despite his slightly lower tally, Son is known for his explosive runs and finishing ability, and he could still make a significant impact in the race for the Golden Boot.
With so many talented forwards competing for the top spot, the 2024-25 Premier League season promises to be an exciting one for fans of attacking football. As the race for the Golden Boot intensifies, each of these players will be looking to make their mark and secure their place as the league’s top scorer.
