Premier League top scorers 2023-24: Cole Palmer brings fight to four-goal hero Erling Haaland | OneFootball

Close

Cole Palmer is Erling Haaland’s foremost competition to win the 2023-24 Premier League Golden Boot.

The Manchester City striker’s first-half hat-trick against Wolves on Saturday, with a fourth scored after the break, pushed him well clear of Palmer and Alexander Isak, despite the Swede’s goal for Newcastle at Burnley.

Isak levelled up in second place with Chelsea’s Palmer before the England international struck against West Ham on Sunday.

Ollie Watkins is in contention for a place on the Golden Boot podium with 19 goals for Aston Villa, five fewer than Haaland.

Dominic Solanke has enjoyed a superb campaign and sits fifth ahead of Mohamed Salah, who is in the mix for a top-three finish too despite a quiet campaign by his standards.

There is currently a four-way tie for seventh place after Bukayo Saka scored for Arsenal against Bournemouth on Saturday.
