Favorites for Golden Boot 2025

Following his scoring opener in Manchester City’s close 2-2 draw at home against Arsenal overnight, Norwegian forward, Erling Haaland is closing as an even bigger betting favorite to scoop the golden boot come the end of the Premier League, however, the UEFA Champions League award is favored to land elsewhere.

Returning to Premier League action over the weekend following a prior Champions League draw with past rivals, Internazionale, Man City managed to scrap a narrow 2-2 draw against league rivals, Arsenal – with Haaland’s opener canceled out by a wonder strike from Ricciardo Califiori, and a header from Gabriel. 

And rescuing a point late on through a bundled finish from John Stones, off the back of his staggering tenth goal in the Premier League, Haaland is still pushing huge -800 bettings odds to win his third consecutive golden boot next year, with bettors and fans sure to find all their relative information over at TrustnBet’s guide to soccer betting.

Next closest on the bookie’s list to win the Golden Boot at the end of next season is Mohamed Salah, another prior winner – however, with his brace over the course of the weekend, Liverpool forward, Luis Diaz is drawing some quite outstanding +5,500 odds to keep up his run and catch Haaland, having scored an impressive 5 goals in the league this season. 

However, when it comes to European competition, former Premier League goalscoring machine, Harry Kane has drawn odds as low as +150 to land the UEFA Champions League golden boot come the end of next season, having netted an impressive 4 goals in their format opener against Croatian champions, Dinamo Zagreb last week. 

And despite firing a blank against Serie A side, Internazionale last week, the previously mentioned, Haaland is still drawing decent odds of +500 in his race to win the UEFA Champions League Golden Boot – and win the European Cup for the second time in his naive career.

Akin to Haaland, former Paris Saint Germain superstar, Kylian Mbappe is drawing bookie’s odds of +500 to win the Golden Boot in European football this season, having joined La Liga side, Real Madrid this season and forming a terrifying attack alongside Vinicius Jr. and his compatriot, Rodrygo. 

Notably beginning his Premier League campaign in impressive fashion this time around is Chelsea forward, Nicolas Jackson – who managed to contribute 14 goals last campaign, in a rather topsy-turvy season for the Senegal striker.

However, in the opening five matches in the league this season, Jackson has already netted 4 goals against opposition, including a brace on the road against London rivals, West Ham United earlier this weekend. 

And amid his early goalscoring form in the league this season, former Villarreal forward, Jackson is drawing odds already of just +2,500 to win the Golden Boot next season – behind just prior winners, Salah and two-time victor, Haaland. 

A third consecutive victory of the Golden Boot for Haaland inside just as many seasons in English football would see him move past fellow prior winners, Didier Drogba, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Michael Owen, and Robin van Persie.

And a win would add him to a list containing Egyptian forward, Salah, as well as the above-mentioned, Kane, and all-time leading Premier League top scorer, Alan Shearer.

Netting his one-hundredth goal for Manchester City over the course of the weekend, if Haaland can continue his stunning contributions up top for Pep Guardiola’s side, the former Borussia Dortmund powerhouse will surely topple the current golden boot record held by Arsenal hero, Thierry Henry – who has 4 separate awards.

Already twice winning the UEFA Champions League top scorer award twice in his career, Haaland’s 10 goals for Borussia Dortmund in his penultimate season with the Bundesliga side, and a further 12 goals during his first season at the Etihad Arena saw him beat out the rest of the competition.

However, neither of those tallies would have been required to scoop last season’s award, with the previously mentioned duo of Kane and Mbappe sharing the award having found the net a measly 8 times apiece – a poor standard by the aforenoted, Haaland’s standards. 

Still holding the record for most goals in a single European Cup season stands with Portuguese forward, Cristiano Ronaldo – who netted a staggering 17 times during the 2013/14 season, contributing to his record as the most prolific scorer in UEFA Champions League history.
