The Premier League Golden Boot is one of the most prestigious awards in English football. It is awarded to the season's top scorer, and the race for the 2025-26 Golden Boot is heating up. Bookies like Sbo.net are offering their odds on who will collect this prize, with one clear frontrunner in mind.
Last season, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah stormed to the top of the scoring charts, helping his team lift the Premier League trophy. However, with the current season nearing its end, Salah seems to have left himself too much to do to retain his crown.
Erling Haaland (1/14 favourite)
Manchester City's Erling Haaland, at 1/14, is the current favourite to win the Golden Boot.
Despite a recent rocky run, Haaland has been in formidable form in the first half of the 2025/26 season, with few top-flight defences able to stop him from finding the net.
However, a barren spell of just one goal in his last seven league games is uncharacteristic for the Norwegian striker. Despite this, Haaland is confident of returning to his scoring ways and securing his third Golden Boot in his fourth season at Man City.
Igor Thiago (12/1)
Brentford striker Igor Thiago has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water, and his 16 goals in 24 appearances have helped The Bees recover brilliantly from losing long-time coach Thomas Frank to Spurs in the summer.
If Haaland continues his slide, the Brazilian represents good value at 12/1 as the best possible option to challenge the Norwegian.
Antoine Semenyo (40/1)
However, both Haaland and Thiago have been short on goals of late, which has allowed Haaland's Man City teammate Antoine Semenyo (40/1) to edge closer to them.
Semenyo has scored 12 goals so far this season. Many of them were scored for his former club, Bournemouth, having joined City in January. The striker has already hit the ground running at his new club, slotting in to become a very capable attacker in no time.
Hugo Ekitike (50/1)
Liverpool's summer signing Hugo Ekitike (50/1) has also made his mark, hitting double figures in the Premier League.
Chelsea's Joao Pedro and Leeds United's Dominic Calvert-Lewin, both with nine goals, round out the top contenders.
