As the race for the Golden Boot continues in the EPL 2024/25 season, we’ve seen some massive talent among the players. While there have been some impressive goals this season, only one can take the title. Who exactly is in the running? Let’s count down the top scorers.
10. Danny Welbeck
One of Brighton & Hove Albion’s main attackers has been a person to watch in the EPL as he has constantly been proving himself throughout the season. So far, he has taken a total of 26 shots and successfully scored six goals. A notable moment throughout the 2024/25 season is when he netted his 100th career goal, which saw a 2-1 win over Man United — his former club.
9. Ollie Watkins
Next up on the list is none other than Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa. While he did start 2024/25 a bit slowly for Aston Villa and still has a while to go to beat last season’s 19 goals, he has picked up his game as the season progressed and is currently sitting on seven goals so far.
8. Matheus Cunha
Currently sitting in the ranks with a total of seven goals in the EPL for this season, Matheus Cunha has definitely been a major asset to Wolves. What makes this Brazillian attacker such a valuable player is his versatility as he’s able to dominate the game as both a central striker and from the wide positions. He has also been brilliant at playmaking between the defensive lines. So, whether he’s front and centre or coming out wide, you know that he’s set to get to the goals.
7. Nicholas Jackson
This Senegalese striker has made himself known as one of Europe’s standout attacking prospects ever since his debut in the 2023/24 season with a staggering 14 goals. Despite a few upsets this season, Jackson continues to thrill us as he chases his impressive score from last season and currently sits with a total of eight goals so far.
6. Yoane Wissa
Last year was one for the books for this DR Congo International as he has played an instrumental role in Brentwood’s success in the EPL and doesn’t plan on slowing down this season. With Ivan Toney out of the League, Brentford is not relying on his speed, agility and ability to take on defenders one-on-one and score goals. This season has been promising, as he currently holds eight goals.
5. Bryan Mbeumo
Coming in at number five on the list of top-scorers in the EPL this season is another one of Brentwood’s stars, Bryan Mbeumo. Currently, this Cameroon international has accumulated an impressive nine goals so far in the 2024/25 season, and with his strong partnership with Wissa, we’re sure to see him bag even more.
4. Chris Wood
This New Zealand international has been making waves this season in more ways than one. Wood underwent a lot of scrutiny from the Nottingham Forest fanbase, as they hoped he would make more of an impact, but he has since changed the narrative and continues to score crucial goals for Forest. He has currently bagged ten goals throughout the 2024/25 season.
3. Cole Palmer
Chelsea is in the runnings to win the title this season, and many say that 22-year-old Cole Palmer’s stellar performance has a lot to do with it. So far, he’s bagged a monumental 11 goals this season, and under manager Enzo Maresca’s leadership, the Blues are taking out the competition, and Palmer is in the runnings for the Golden Boot.
2. Mohammed Salah
The player who is hot on Erling Laaland’s tail to win the Golden Boot, Mohammed Salah, is only strengthening his legacy in competitive football as Liverpool’s Egyptian King. With a total of 13 goals in the 2024/25 season so far, he has proven that he is and will continue to be a force to be reckoned with.
1. Erling Haaland
While there may have been a few rumours swirling about Haaland losing his dominance in the EPL this season, the Norse Titan has put them all to bed with his mind-blowing 13 goals and remains the frontrunner for the Golden Boot. He has started off the 2024/25 season strong by hitting two hat-tricks within just the first three game weeks, but he still has a while to go to beat his record-setting 36 goals from the 2022/23 season. Will he be able to make history by winning the Golden Boot for three consecutive years, or will his biggest threat, Mohammed Salah, put an end to his glory?
How do top scorers affect the odds?
While they’re not the only factor that affects the betting odds in the EPL, there’s no denying that the top scorers do play a major part — after all, they are the ones scoring the goals. When a top scorer is on the field or bench, there is a good chance that the odds will differ slightly. This is why it’s so important when wagering to pay attention to the state of the team and individual players and stay up to date on the best tips on the EPL.
Final Thoughts
Make sure to keep your eye on these players because as soon as they’re on the field, you can anticipate that there will be tons of action and attempts to score, which you know is going to affect the odds and could work out well for those who are making prop bets.
