The current Premier League top scorer odds are largely in Erling Haaland's favour, as he is 1/4 favourite to win the Golden Boot for the second consecutive season. The Manchester City star is currently leading the charts with 18 goals, with Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins in second place with 16.
Is there a chance an Englishman could win it? No English player has won the Golden Boot since Harry Kane in 2020/21, and the former Tottenham Hotspur man has won three of the previous eight available. Nonetheless, it could be time for another to step up this season, as we analyse which Englishmen are in the frame to finish top of the tree…
Premier League top scorer odds update – Current outrights
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) – 8/1
Watkins is enjoying a tremendous season with Aston Villa, and his 16 league goals puts him second in the scoring charts, only two behind Haaland. He is playing in a team pushing for UEFA Champions League qualification, so should get plenty more chances to score goals.
It should also be noted that Watkins has been picked in the latest England squad on current form, and will want to continue to impress Gareth Southgate to book a place on the plane for the Euros.
Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth) – 33/1
If Watkins does not win the Golden Boot, the next most-likely Englishman too according to betting markets is Solanke. His goal in Bournemouth's thrilling 4-3 win at home to Luton Town in midweek was his 15th in the league, meaning he is only behind Haaland and Watkins in the charts.
Unlike Watkins, Solanke was not called up to the latest England squad ahead of preparation for the Euros, and he knows winning the Golden Boot would certainly grab Southgate's attention.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) – 40/1
Saka has shot up in terms of his odds of winning the Golden Boot after an imperious run of form in 2024. His goals have helped Arsenal to eight straight Premier League wins, as they sit top of the table going into the international break.
The winger now boasts 13 league goals in total, still five behind leader Haaland, but if the Gunners continue their superb form in the run-in, Saka will have plenty of opportunities to add to his total.
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) – 80/1
Bowen has drifted out slightly in terms of his odds of winning the Golden Boot, but his 14 league goals so far suggest he is still capable. Only four players have more at the time of writing, and West Ham's main goal threat should get more chances to add to his tally.
Bowen was also called up to Southgate's latest England squad, and with competition for players high in attacking areas, he will want to perform and make sure of a spot in the 23-man squad for the Euros.
Cole Palmer (Chelsea) – 150/1
Palmer is a big outsider to win the Golden Boot, with only 11 goals so far this season compared to his competitors. However, if Chelsea score, he is usually involved.
The Blues have endured another frustrating season, currently sitting in 11th and being beaten in the Carabao Cup final by Liverpool, but there is no doubt Palmer has been a shining light. As Chelsea chase the European places in the latter stage of the campaign, Palmer will be trusted to lead them in their quest.
