Premier League Top Scorer Betting Odds 2025/26: Who Will Win The Golden Boot?

The Premier League kicks off in mid-August when Liverpool start their title defence against Bournemouth at Anfield.

Mohamed Salah scored 29 goals for the Reds last season to win the Golden Boot for a record-equalling fourth time to go level with Thierry Henry, but could he make it a fifth at the end of the 2025/26 campaign?

Betting sites have installed Manchester City striker Erling Haaland as the early favourite to win the accolade for a third time, with Salah viewed as his nearest challenger.

The summer transfer window closes on September 1, so there is plenty of time for new names to be considered for the Premier League’s top scorer. 

We take a look at the Premier League top scorer betting odds for the new campaign and pick out a couple of each-way selections for the Golden Boot.

Premier League Top Scorer Odds: Erling Haaland

Haaland was the third most prolific scorer last season with 22, seven adrift of Salah, but he is the 11/10 favourite with football betting sites to bag the highest number of goals.

It should not be forgotten that the Norwegian missed around six weeks with injury during the run-in which equated to seven games, so had he played all 38 games like Salah, he could have been looking at a third successive Golden Boot.

However, Pep Guardiola described City’s first trophyless season since 2017 as the “most difficult” of his 17-year career and it seems unlikely that Haaland would have scored in every game he missed to draw level with Salah.

City are going through a period of transition and will be without assist king Kevin De Bruyne, whose glorious 10-year career at the Etihad ended with a move to Serie A champions Napoli, so who will supply the goals for Haaland?

Left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri and central midfielder Tijjani Reijnders look like excellent signings, but perhaps Savinho will be the player to feed Haaland in a new-look team.

The Brazilian was inside the top 10 for assists in the Premier League last season with eight.

Haaland still does not look like he did in his first two seasons, but with new players energising the squad, he could be back to his best in the new campaign.

Premier League Top Scorer Betting: Mohamed Salah

Not only was Salah last season’s top scorer in the Premier League, he also provided the most assists with 18, six more than his nearest rival Jacob Murphy.

It was an incredible campaign for the Egyptian, so it seems remarkable that for most of the season he was in the dark about whether he would be staying at Anfield.

With his contract coming to an end in the summer, Salah eventually signed a new two-year deal, much to the relief of the Liverpool faithful.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai supplied the second most number of assists with six apiece, but the former is now at Real Madrid, so the Hungarian and new signing Florian Wirtz are likely to be crucial to Salah’s chances of winning the Golden Boot.

Only Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise (15) assisted more goals than Bayer Leverkusen’s Wirtz last season and he is expected to be in the thick of the action in his maiden Premier League season.

Salah, though, is capable of producing something out of nothing and still looks a livewire at 4/1 in the Premier League top scorer odds for next season.

Premier League Top Scorer Tips: Alexander Isak

Isak scored a third of Newcastle’s goals last season and has been linked with a move to Liverpool on the back of Darwin Nunez’s expected move to Napoli, but as things stand he is expected to stay on Tyneside.

In any case, joining the Premier League champions would only enhance his prospects of winning the Golden Boot, but the odds suggest he will remain with the Magpies who are once again playing Champions League football this season.

The Sweden striker scored the second highest number of Premier League goals last season (23) and could net more than that with Anthony Elanga heading to St James’ Park.

Now entering his fourth season in the North-East, Newcastle’s penalty-taker has improved year on year with the number of goals he has scored and he has to be considered at 7/1 with betting apps for the Golden Boot. 

Premier League Golden Boot Odds: Chelsea Duo In The Frame

Cole Palmer was a Golden Boot contender in the first half of last season and by mid-January had scored 14 goals, but added just one more before the campaign ended in May.

Once again, the Blues have spent big during the summer transfer window and much is expected of them this season on the back of their run to the Club World Cup final.

Palmer is 16/1 to win the Golden Boot, but perhaps better value can be found in new signing Joao Pedro, a 28/1 shot with 10bet which is offering four each-way places.

The Brazilian scored 10 times for Brighton last season, but his double against Fluminense in the Club World Cup semi-final has had Chelsea fans licking their lips at what he can achieve in the forthcoming campaign.

Premier League Golden Boot Betting: Watkins And Cunha Outsiders

Ollie Watkins is 25/1 for the Golden Boot, but the striker has never scored 20 goals or more in five seasons with Aston Villa and looks like one to avoid.

The England international enjoyed his best season in the 2023/24 campaign when he scored 19 times, but you have to go back to 2009 when that number proved enough for Nicolas Anelka to be crowned the Premier League’s top scorer.

Manchester United’s new signing Matheus Cunha is slightly higher at 28/1 following his high-profile move from Wolves.

The Brazilian netted 15 goals last season, but it’s open to debate whether he has joined a better team than the one he left, although the potential addition of quality players like Bryan Mbeumo will certainly help his cause.

Elsewhere, Chelsea striker Liam Delap is 40/1 with BoyleSports following his move from Ipswich, the same price as Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka and Manchester City attacker Omar Marmoush.

Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke is available at 33/1.
