Players Who Can Win Golden Boot in English Premier League

The list of remarkable players is getting longer and a few of them also exhibit the endless potential to cross the aforementioned legendary strikers in terms of caliber. Last season, three of the top-scoring strikers scored more than 70 goals in total. So here is our pick when it comes to players who could possibly take the golden boot home this season.

Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku started off his English Premier League career at Chelsea and has played for three different English clubs. The Blues took him in from Anderlecht and loaned him out to West Bromwich Albion and Everton. However, he hogged the limelight after joining Manchester United. As of now, he has 113 goals in 252 Premier League appearances. His subsequent return to Chelsea in 2021 marked a new chapter in his life which was embellished by a title-winning campaign in Italy.

Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes' performance shot up and met expectations in the current season. He became the league’s top scorer in the opening two games. In the 2021 edition, the Manchester United talisman netted more than 15 premier league goals and became the fourth person on the list of top scorers. In addition, he was the sole midfielder on the list bearing multiple assists. However, his scoring abilities are independent of the positions he plays in and he is comfortable making both spot-kicks and free kicks. He might break his last season’s record, considering how Paul Pogba now has his back.

Mohamed Salah

Egyptian Mohamed Salah became the first player to score in five consecutive premier league opening matches. He is Liverpool's star player who can provide from the flanks. His abilities are not limited to just scoring goals but he also adds flavor to a three-man attack line. His goal count is more than 20 over three consecutive Premier League campaigns, where he was primarily positioned on the right flank. He has won the golden boot in 2018-29 and might win it again if he maintains his form.

Harry Kane

Harry Kane, the 2020-21 golden boot winner is one of the contenders this year. He has repeatedly proved his caliber as one of the best strikers in the world. He has won multiple golden boot awards in the previous seasons. Although he has had a rough phase of injuries, he is expected to bounce back and score more than 30 goals in the upcoming season. His partnership with Heung Min Son last season also enhanced his gameplay. The pair can supply goals for each other due to their in-sync link-up. In addition, Tottenham Hotspur coach Nuno Espirito also believes in him and wants him to make the best of his abilities.

Jamie Vardy

Jamie Vardy stands as a former Premier League golden boot winner with 119 Premier League goals in 247 appearances. Because of his excellent sportsmanship, Leicester qualified for top-flight English football. His strengths include speed and efficiency besides his talent as a goal creator. He created even chances in the last season alone. In 2015/2016, he notched 24 goals causing Leicester to win their first-ever Premier League title. Vardy has scored 20 premier league goals in three different campaigns. The 34-year-old might be playing his last season where he'd be an active contender for the boot.

Besides the aforementioned players, the league also has other footballers like Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Patrick Bamford, and Edinson Cavani, who are expected to perform.
