After setting a new single-season Premier League goals record (36 goals) en route to the Golden Boot award in 2022/23, Manchester City star Erling Haaland came out of the gates strong once again.
After 15 appearances, Haaland was comfortably the leader in the 2023/24 Golden Boot race, with 14 goals. However, a relative scoring drought and a foot injury has allowed others to close the gap.
Mohamed Salah drew level after netting a double in Liverpool's 4-2 win over Newcastle United on January 1. Tottenham's Son Heung-min and in-form Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke are just two goals back, while Jarrod Bowen and Hwang Hee-chan can consider themselves in the race for the award.
It certainly feels like this season's battle to finish as the division's leading goalscorer will be closer than it was a year ago.
The Sporting News will update the top scorers' table below, with assists and minutes played serving as the first and second tiebreakers as per major European tournaments run by UEFA.
