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

With the first international break upon us, Gambling.com is taking a close look at which player will score the most goals in the 2025/26 Premier League season.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland leads the way with three goals and is the hot favourite on betting sites to win the Golden Boot for a third time.

Mohamed Salah won the award for a fourth occasion in the 2024/25 campaign and was the second favourite before a ball was kicked, but with just one goal to his name, the Egyptian has drifted significantly.

The Reds made some major signings during the summer transfer window, including Alexander Isak, who joined from Newcastle for a British club record fee of £125million.

There are plenty of other players who can challenge Haaland, bearing in mind City have made a slow start to the season, losing two of their opening three matches.

With that in mind, let’s look at those in the running to finish the Premier League season as top scorer.

Premier League Top Scorer Odds: Erling Haaland

The Norwegian started the season with a bang by scoring a double in a 4-0 victory at Wolves on the opening weekend.

Although he fired blanks in City’s 2-0 home defeat by Tottenham, Haaland was back on the scoresheet with the opener at Brighton who went to win 2-1 at the Amex Stadium.

Haaland has taken a Premier League-high of 14 shots this season, four more than nearest rivals Antoine Semenyo and Anthony Gordon, and five of those were on target, the joint most in the top flight.

He was the third most prolific scorer with 22 goals last season, despite missing six weeks during the run-in, so if he can stay injury-free, it could be another personal triumph for Haaland.

The former Borussia Dortmund striker is the frontrunner at Evens in the Premier League top scorer odds on football betting sites.

Premier League Top Scorer Betting: Viktor Gyokeres

Viktor Gyokeres was signed to great fanfare as the man who could finally bring the Premier League title back to the Emirates.

Although he scored twice in a 5-0 drubbing of Leeds, one of those goals came from the penalty spot and he has just two other shots on target over his first three games.

Admittedly, the Gunners have had a tough start in facing Manchester United and Premier League champions Liverpool in their opening three games, so there will be easier matches to come for Gyokeres to increase his tally.

The former Coventry striker scored 68 goals in 66 appearances during Sporting’s two title-winning seasons and is expected to continue his hot streak in north London.

If he gets the right service, Gyokeres will be hard to stop and is 7/1 on betting apps to finish the season with the Golden Boot in his hands.

Premier League Top Scorer Tips: Alexander Isak

The biggest talking point of the summer was Alexander Isak’s controversial move from Newcastle to Liverpool.

The Swede scored the second highest number of goals in the Premier League last season (22) and ended the Magpies’ 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy by netting what turned out to be the winner against the Reds in the Carabao Cup final.

Fifth place in the Premier League also proved enough for a spot in this season’s Champions League, but the sweet feeling of success soon turned sour as Isak tried to engineer a move away from St James’ Park.

An acrimonious parting of the ways finally came to a conclusion on transfer deadline day when Isak joined the Premier League champions, so he has yet to start a game.

Isak is only three goals behind Haaland, but it is yet to be seen how Arne Slot will accommodate him and Hugo Ekitike in the same team.

There is also a question over whether he will take penalties as he did at Newcastle, but he should still get plenty of chances this season and is 8/1 in the Premier League top scorer odds.

Premier League Golden Boot Odds: Joao Pedro

Already looking like one of the best signings of the summer, Joao Pedro has hit the ground running since his £60m move from Brighton.

The Brazilian scored a brilliant double against his former club Fluminense in leading the Blues to the final of the FIFA World Cup where he notched the third in a one-sided 3-0 victory over European champions PSG.

Joao Pedro has brought that form into the Premier League with a goal apiece in the wins against West Ham and Fulham.

Only four players have taken more shots than Joao Pedro’s eight in the Premier League this season and three of them were on target.

Joao Pedro’s odds have been cut from 18/1 to 12/1 since the season got under way and he looks a livewire to win the award for top scorer.

Premier League Top Scorer Odds: 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.

Salah is not firing on all cylinders just yet, scoring with one of his two shots on target during Liverpool's perfect start to the season.

He was 11/2 before a ball was kicked, but is now 12/1 to score the most goals in the top flight.

Premier League Top Scorer Odds: Ekitike Heads Outsiders

Hugo Ekitike has made quite an impression since moving to Anfield in a £79m deal from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer. 

The 23-year-old Frenchman scored in the wins against Bournemouth and Newcastle, and is 22/1 to lead the scoring charts at the end of May, although his chances have been hampered by the signing of Isak.

Elsewhere, Chelsea’s injured attacker Cole Palmer is 33/1 and Tottenham striker Richarlison is just behind at 40/1, having scored twice against Burnley on the opening weekend.

Chris Wood, Ollie Watkins and Dominic Solanke are all 50/1, the same price as Newcastle’s new signings Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade.

Manchester United duo Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are both 70/1.
