Premier League top goal scorers 2024/2025: EPL golden boot rankings as Chris Wood closes on Salah, Haaland | Sporting News Canada
The 2024/25 Premier League campaign is heating up and with that comes the opportunity for players to break records, score late winners or even bang in an overhead kick.
Last season saw Erling Haaland yet again dominate the top scorers table, despite a mid-season injury. Cole Palmer, meanwhile, stunned the world as he surged to a second-place finish after a four-goal haul against Everton late in the season.
Haaland had long topped the charts, reaching 100 in all competitions for City by scoring against Arsenal, but his team’s recent struggles have opened the door to his closest challenger Mohamed Salah. The pair look ready to battle it out in the coming months with Salah’s future at Anfield still undecided.
A surprise contender in the running is Chris Wood, who got his 10th of the season as Nottingham Forest claimed an impressive 3-2 win at Manchester United on December 7. Palmer is also making a challenge again as the talisman in Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea team.
The Sporting News will be updating the table below during every matchday of the 2024/25 Premier League season through to the final matches on May 25, 2024.
