The idea for dozens of Premier League forwards is simple, but it is far from easy — score more goals than Erling Haaland.

The race for the 2026-27 Premier League Golden Boot is on, with Kai Havertz flying out of the starting block to score the season’s first goal on August 21.
He was only in front for a few minutes as teammate Bukayo Saka joined him. Many more will join their ranks over the course of this 380-match Premier League season.
Who won last season’s Golden Boot?
Haaland now has three Golden Boots in four seasons.
The Manchester City star scored 27 goals last season to win it back from Mohamed Salah.
Haaland’s two other Golden Boot wins saw him score 27 goals in 2023-24 after his record-devouring 2022-23 campaign.
