Premier League Golden Boot Contenders for 2026-27
Erling Haaland of Manchester City will begin the 2026-27 Premier League season as the primary contender for the Golden Boot, having scored 27 league goals last season and won the award three times in four campaigns. With a new manager, Enzo Maresca, tactical changes may occur, but Haaland is expected to remain City's main source of goals.
Other strong contenders include Alexander Isak of Liverpool, who aims to recover from an injury-hit season, and Igor Thiago of Brentford, who scored 22 goals last season. Viktor Gyokeres of Arsenal, Joao Pedro of Chelsea, and Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa are also in the mix, with Watkins needing to improve on his 12 goals from last season.
Benjamin Sesko of Manchester United could emerge as an outside contender if he maintains strong form. The competition for the Golden Boot is expected to be a significant storyline in the upcoming season.
