The Premier League is heating up once again as the race for the Golden Boot begins. The competition is fierce, with some of the best strikers in the world vying for the top spot. While there are several Golden Boots to be claimed across Europe, only one of the continent's best marksman can claim each season - the prestigious Golden Shoe.
Last season, Robert Lewandowski won the championship with an impressive 35 goals while the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema and Ciro Immobile all followed him closely. This season promises to be just as exciting, with iconic strikers leading the race for the Golden Boot. Manchester City's Erling Haaland left his mark with an impressive 30 goals (60). The Norwegian striker's prowess and pace have made him a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
Harry Kane, Tottenham's fearsome No 9 and three-time Golden Boot winner, has scored 23 goals (46) this season. With over 180 Premier League goals, Kane is renowned as one of the best strikers in the world.
Napoli's Victor Osimhen has been a key player in his winning streak this season, scoring 21 goals (42) despite some fitness limitations. If the energetic Nigerian striker can recover from his injury, he can help Napoli win the Scudetto.
Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe has 19 goals (38) and is a strong contender for the top spot. The World Cup champion and PSG legend is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
Lille's Jonathan David has been a rising star for some time and his 19 goals (38) this season is testament to his talent. When Canada won the right to participate in the 2022 World Cup, it was only a matter of time before the fast forward reached the wings outside Ligue 1. Brentford's Ivan Toney has come a long way since his days at League One's Peterborough United. He helped propel Brentford to promotion and has now gained international recognition with England thanks to 18 goals (36) this season.
Alexandre Lacazette, the returning legend of Lyon, immediately hit the mark with 17 goals (34) despite CV's difficult start to the season. AS Monaco's Wissam Ben Yedder is one of football's most consistent goalscorers and his 17 goals (34) this season are testament to that.
Robert Lewandowski, one of the all-time greats, chose to try his luck in Spain with La Liga giants Barcelona. With 17 goals (34), the Polish striker has something to prove after leaving Bayern Munich.
Finally, there is Folarin Balogun, England U21 player, who is making waves in the top French league with 16 goals (32) for Reims. Arsenal fans appreciate him and his loan spell in France has allowed him to showcase his talents on the top stage.
With so many talented players in the race for the Golden Boot, the Premier League promises to be an exciting race this season. Who will win and be crowned the best marksman on the continent? Only time will tell.
