Here, Malik Ouzia assesses the leading Golden Boot contenders in the Premier League for 2022/23... Last season saw the prestigious prize shared for the fifth time, with Mohamed Salah and Heung-min Son finishing level on 23 strikes apiece.
Both holders should be in the mix once again this term, though competition is fiercer than ever, especially after two major new striker signings to boost title contenders in the form of Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez.
Unsurprisingly the early favourite for the Golden Boot, Haaland is expected to add “needed” firepower to a team that scored 99 League goals and racked up 93 points last term.
With the World Cup (where he is the Golden Boot holder) only months away, back Kane to fire early. Son enjoyed the best goal return of his career last term, outscoring strike partner Kane to share the Golden Boot with Salah. His form dipped after the Africa Cup of Nations in the New Year, but the Egyptian still finished with a share of the Golden Boot and his best scoring return since netting a ridiculous 32 times in the League in his first season at Anfield.
