Winning the Premier League is the ultimate achievement in English football. But for every striker, securing the Golden Boot is a coveted side mission. And this season, the race for the prestigious award is wide open once again.
Erling Haaland, a breakout star in his first official Premier League season, clinched the Golden Boot in spectacular fashion last year with a record-breaking 36 goals.
