Premier League Top Goalscorer Race 2024-25


When the 2024-25 Premier League season kicked off on Friday, August 16, 2024, excitement filled the air, promising thrilling moments and fierce competition.


There’s no doubt many were already wondering who would emerge as the season's top goalscorer. With Mohamed Salah currently leading the charge, the question remains: could a strong field of challengers wrest the coveted Golden Boot from his grasp? Let’s take a closer look at those in contention!



Here Are the 2024-25 Premier League Leading Goalscorers


1. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

  • Goals: 15

  • Country: Egypt

Another familiar name, but that’s because Mohamed Salah is always in the conversation when it comes to Premier League top scorers. With fifteen goals so far this season, he’s showing no signs of slowing down.


Salah’s ability to drift inside and finish with either foot has made him a nightmare for defenders for years, and this season is no different. As long as Liverpool continue creating chances, Salah, who ranks fourth in Liverpool's all-time scorers list, will keep scoring.



2. Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

  • Goals: 13

  • Country: Norway

Well, who else would be at the top of this list if not Haaland? The big Norwegian machine continues to prove that he’s built for the Premier League. With 13 goals, it feels like he scores every week. His strength, pace, and instinctive finishing have made him one of the most feared strikers in world football.


In fact, he is the best striker in the world today. Whether it's a header, a tap-in, or an acrobatic finish, Haaland scores them all. And, honestly, no one looks like stopping him anytime soon. For now, he’s in a league of his own.



3. Cole Palmer (Chelsea)

  • Goals: 11

  • Country: England

Continuing from where he left off last season, Cole Palmer has already notched eleven goals so far this term. His ability to glide past defenders and finish coolly in front of goal has made him one of the most dangerous attacking midfielders in English football today. His calmness under pressure has made him an indispensable player for Chelsea, and if he maintains this form, he could emerge as one of the league's top scorers for years to come.


4. Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)

  • Goals: 10

  • Country: Sweden

Alexander Isak has emerged as one of the Premier League's most dynamic forwards in the 2024-25 season. With 10 goals to his name, the Swedish international currently sits 4th on the league’s top scorers list.


He is known for his silky dribbling, clinical finishing, and intelligent off-the-ball movement, making Alexander Isak a vital figure in Newcastle United's impressive 2024-25 campaign. With 10 goals to his name this season, ranking fourth in the Premier League's leading scorers, Isak has often delivered in crucial moments, making him one of Europe’s brightest attacking talents.



4. Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest)

  • Goals: 10

  • Country: New Zealand

Who would’ve predicted that Chris Wood would be among the top scorers? The New Zealand striker has quietly been doing his job with ten goals for Nottingham Forest, who are putting up a challenge to secure a Champions League spot.


Strong, aerially dominant, and an expert in finishing chances, Wood is exactly the type of player Forest can rely on when they need a goal. His movement and ability to score in tight situations have been crucial to Forest's push this season.



4. Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)

  • Goals: 10

  • Country: Cameroon

Mbeumo might not have the same star power as some others on this list, but his ten goals speak for themselves. The Cameroonian forward has become Brentford’s main goal threat, and it’s easy to see why.


With a unique combination of pace, strength, and technique, he’s proved time and time again that he knows where the goal is. Mbeumo's consistency has been impressive, and if Brentford keep creating chances, we could see more from him as the season goes on.



7. Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers) - Brazil

  • Goals: 9

  • Country: Brazil

Matheus Cunha’s nine goals for Wolves have come at a vital time as the Brazilian forward has been key in helping his side remain competitive. His technical skills and dribbling ability have opened up space for himself and his teammates, and he’s often in the right place at the right time to finish chances.


Cunha’s creativity is what sets him apart, and his potential is certainly something to watch as the season unfolds. Be sure to check out his finish in the 51st minute of Wolves' 2-0 win over Southampton on November 9—wow, it was something special.



7. Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea)

  • Goals: 9

  • Country: Senegal

Nicolas Jackson’s ability to get into dangerous areas has been clear to see this season. With nine goals already, the Senegalese forward has used his strength and pace to terrorise defenders.


Under Enzo Maresca, Jackson is starting to show just why Chelsea were so eager to bring him in. He still has room for improvement, but his goal-scoring potential is undeniable. Expect him to be a regular feature in Chelsea’s attack as he finds his rhythm in the Premier League.



7. Yoane Wissa (Brentford)

  • Goals: 9

  • Country: DR Congo

Yoane Wissa may not get the same headlines as some of the other forwards, but with nine goals, he’s been quietly brilliant for Brentford especially following Ivan Toney's summer exit. Wissa’s pace and direct style of play have made him a constant danger on the counter-attack, and he’s been clinical when it matters most. As the Bees continue to punch above their weight, Wissa’s goals could be crucial to keeping them competitive in the Premier League.


10. James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur)

  • Goals: 8

  • Country: England

James Maddison has been a creative force for Tottenham Hotspur in the 2024-25 season, contributing both goals and assists with flair. The English midfielder has scored eight league goals, showcasing his ability to arrive in the box at the perfect moment and convert chances with precision.


Renowned for his set-piece mastery and sharp vision, Maddison's performances have been pivotal to Spurs' attacking play, making him one of the Premier League's standout players this season.
