Favorites to Win the Premier League Top Scorer Title

Mohamed Salah at BetMGM

Mohamed Salah is showing his enduring importance to Liverpool this season. The Egypt international is out of contract at the end of the campaign and the club’s supporters are desperate for him to stay, not least because of his exploits this term. If Liverpool allow Salah to leave the club on a free, it will be a major failing on their part. 

Salah scored last time out as Liverpool beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1. He has now made the net ripple 23 times in 2024/25, making him the strong favorite to finish as top scorer.

Erling Haaland at BetMGM

Erling Haaland came flying out of the traps at the start of the season, scoring nine times in his first four appearances in the Premier League. He then suffered a dip in form amid Manchester City’s wider struggles under Pep Guardiola, but there are signs that Haaland is getting back to his best.

Haaland is still second in the scoring charts with 19 strikes, which puts him four off top spot. The Norway international is a world-class goal-getter and he will continue to find the net no matter what.

Alexander Isak at BetMGM

Alexander Isak returned to form with a bang at the end of 2024. The Newcastle United striker surged up the goalscoring charts, but he has not been quite as effective in his last few outings, scoring in only one of his last four top-flight appearances.

Isak is a quality player who brings more to the table than just goals. He excels at linking the play and can create chances too, but the Sweden international combines all that with being a prolific scorer. But a six-goal gap to Mohamed Salah leaves Isak with his work cut out.

Chris Wood at BetMGM

No one saw this coming. Chris Wood was always viewed as a useful center-forward for bottom-half teams, but he did not seem like a legitimate Golden Boot contender. Yet Wood has been phenomenal for Nottingham Forest this term.

Forest are the Premier League’s surprise package and Wood has been one of their stars. He scored against Fulham in their last league game, moving him on to 18 goals for 2024/25. However, it will be tough for the New Zealand international to catch up with Mohamed Salah.

Cole Palmer at BetMGM

Cole Palmer was the breakout star of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign, establishing himself as one of the best players in the division despite Chelsea’s overall struggles. Palmer has continued in the same vein this time around even after a change in manager at Stamford Bridge last summer. 

The attacking midfielder, who came through Manchester City’s academy before moving to west London in 2023, has notched 14 goals up to now. He will struggle to keep up with Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah, though, so Palmer is a rank outsider in the top scorer betting market.

Premier League Top Scorer History

Who Was the Top Scorer in Premier League 2023/24?

Erling Haaland was the top scorer in the 2023/24 season. The Manchester City striker scored 27 goals in 31 appearances, helping Pep Guardiola’s team win their fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Who Is the All-Time Premier League Top Scorer?

Player and ClubsGoals
Alan Shearer (Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United)260
Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)213
Wayne Rooney (Everton and Manchester United)208
Andrew Cole (Newcastle United, Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, Fulham, Manchester City, Portsmouth)187
Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)184

Robbie Fowler (Liverpool, Leeds United, Manchester City)163
Jermain Defoe (West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Portsmouth, Sunderland, Bournemouth)162

Alan Shearer is the all-time leading goalscorer in the Premier League, having scored 260 goals for Blackburn and Newcastle. The former England captain also scored 23 goals for Southampton in the First Division before it was rebranded as the Premier League.

Indeed, a different picture emerges when we also take the First Division era, from 1888 to 1992, into account alongside the 29 seasons of the Premier League.

Top of the overall charts is Jimmy Greaves, who found the back of the net 357 times for Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham United.
