Erling Haaland is already sitting on nine goals in the 2026-27 Premier League season, but Alexander Isak is right there, breathing down his neck with seven goals of his own. The race for the Golden Boot is heating up, and we’re seeing some serious contenders emerge early on.
Haaland’s Dominance: A Golden Boot Legacy
Haaland has been absolutely unstoppable in recent years, making the idea of scoring more goals than him “far from easy” for any Premier League forward. The Manchester City star has taken home three Golden Boots in four seasons. Seriously, three out of four! He bagged 27 goals last season, snatching it back from Mohamed Salah. Before that, he hit 27 in 2023-24 after that absolutely insane, record-devouring 2022-23 campaign. He’s been the measuring stick for goal-scorers in this league, and everyone knows it.
The Chase Is On: Early Season Standouts
But this season, it feels different already. While Haaland leads the pack with nine goals for Manchester City, Liverpool’s Alexander Isak is charging hard with seven. Everton’s Thierno Barry isn’t far behind with six. Then you’ve got a crew of guys on five goals, including Joao Pedro and Morgan Rogers from Chelsea, Nicholas Jackson of Aston Villa, Marcus Tavernier for Bournemouth, and Rayan Cherki from Manchester City. It’s a tight race at the top, and we’re only just getting started in this 380-match Premier League season. Remember Kai Havertz? He kicked off the season’s scoring on August 21, grabbing the first goal, with teammate Bukayo Saka joining him just minutes later. That was just the beginning.
What’s Next for the Golden Boot?
This Golden Boot race is gonna be wild. With Haaland trying to extend his legacy and Isak making a serious push, you absolutely cannot miss what happens next in the Premier League. Keep those eyes glued to the pitch, this is just heating up!
