There will be a hot race in England.

The next season in the English Premier League could be one of the most exciting in terms of the race for the top scorer. Previously, even the top teams neglected the position of a striking center forward. Now, with the arrival of Darwin Nunez at Liverpool and the appearance of Erling Haaland at Manchester City, we can expect the scorers fight to rise in earnest.

At Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus is looking to restart his career, while Tottenham kept Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. And Cristiano Ronaldo shouldn’t be canceled if he stays at Manchester United. Let’s see how the chances of the most important contenders for the Golden Boot are evaluated in England itself.

Darwin Nunez (Liverpool)

The Uruguayan moved to Liverpool after a decisive season at Benfica, where he scored 26 goals in 28 games. With nearly £ 85m paid out, the Reds expect Nunes to jump into action right away and not only replace Sadio Mane, but surpass him.

Obviously, he has a number of other advantages and a greater propensity to play as an amazing all-round center-forward. An FA Super Cup match against Nunez’s Manchester City could inspire Liverpool fans who watched Darwin’s goal and a half-hour penalty. Complicating his path to the “Golden Boot” in the case of a successful match, his team mates from “Liverpool”, for example, Mohamed Salah. So far, Nunez’s chances are estimated at 3/5.

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

Another stellar newcomer that the title contender has high hopes of scoring. Although in the same Super Bowl game he didn’t score with effective action. But he was close to it. Around Haaland, the atmosphere of high expectations has formed even more than around Nunez. Yes, and everyone is curious to see how Guardiola will work with a forward who has a habit of using offensive players from a different plan.

Josep used false nines, but last year’s attempt to catch Kane showed that the Spaniard wanted to try a different style. He waited for a suitable option and waited. In the Bundesliga, Haaland scored 61 goals in 66 games. Only Robert Lewandowski can boast more impressive figures. Interestingly, Haaland remains a major favorite in the race for the Golden Boot in England thanks to his phenomenal consistent performance in previous years. The chances of him are rated as 4/5.

Son Heung Min (Tottenham)

The level of interaction between Son and Kane in England is legendary. And that combination has been preserved in Tottenham, which promises scoring extravagance and a divine level of mutual understanding and combinatorial play. Son shared the title of top scorer with Salah last season. Premier Leaguehe was incredibly proud of.

He hopes to repeat the success. Furthermore, Sona was unfairly, according to many, not included in the PFA Team of the Year. It turns out that Son’s gold boot itself was a surprise, and hence this underestimation of merit. Tottenham Hotspur under Antonio Conte is expected to make a breakthrough this season and Son could lead him. Although the chances of getting the “Golden Shoe” are estimated at 2/5.

Harry Kane (Tottenham)

And Kane should be close to his Spur buddy. Harry, looking for the fourth Golden Boot last season, missed the start. On New Year’s Eve, Kane only had four balls, while Salah had 15 and Son seven. But who can cancel the three-time top scorer Premier League? In addition, under the guidance of Conte, along with Son, Harry is back to being productive.

And he’s no longer distracted by rumors of a possible move to another club, so you can get to work early in the season. Conte knows how to use shock strikers for their intended purpose. In his teams, brilliant scorers have always stood out. Along with Holland, Kane is considered the best contender for the Golden Shoe with 4/5 odds.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Another choice for those who are used to voting for stability and established contenders. Perhaps at some point the Egyptian had a decline linked to the general form of the team, to the psychological state. But last season he proved that Salah is not acid and is in perfect order.

And in the pre-season he was good, fresh and imaginative, and in the FA Super Cup match. Salah tends to start the season well. As already mentioned, in the last New Year’s championship he scored 15 goals. And no player has scored Premier League more since Salah’s arrival at the start of the 2017/18 season. Maybe some of next season’s goals will be taken away from him by Nunez, but Mohamed will find a place for himself at the gate. And the chances of him are rated as 4/5.

Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal)

The Brazilian’s wish came true, and he came out of the shadows he was at Manchester City in the summer, where he was used sporadically and didn’t quite show his scoring skills. The brightest pre-season at Arsenal showed that Jesus hasn’t forgotten how to score. And it is thanks to her that Gabriel is in this ranking.

The Gunners lacked such a striker. Nketia’s efforts are commendable and noteworthy, but still not at the same level. Jesus, even with episodic impulses at City, scored very important goals, but he still put the interests of the team above all else, and not his scoring successes. At Arsenal he will have a slightly different role, a different field of work and responsibilities. The chances of a diligent attacker are estimated at 2/5.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)

If the Portuguese stay Manchester United, then there is no doubt that he will score his goal pack and will certainly be somewhere at the top of the scorer chart. There’s a lot to be said about the 37-year-old star’s damaging effect on United’s game, but he knows his goal-scoring business.

Last season in the Premier League, he scored 18 goals, eight more than the team’s second top scorer, Bruno Fernandes. In terms of performance, he at least pulled himself out from under the fire, under which the whole team was under last season. But how is he going to stay motivated and fresh and how will his team support him? Ronaldo’s chances of winning the Golden Boot are not as high as those of his main competitors – 1/5.

Somebody else?

Those who are not immediately taken into account always come to the fore. For example, last season that prankster was Son. Now one of the unnamed players from the best clubs can shoot. For example, Jota, who scored 15 goals last season, appears to be in the shadows. But representatives of other teams may also differ. For example, the newcomer of Chelsea Sterling will clearly be credible and will have many possibilities. The main thing for him is not to squander them on his favorite style of him. Or veteran Vardy will once again experience his youth in Leicester.
