The Golden Shoe (or Golden Boot) is an annual association football award presented to the leading goalscorer in league matches across Europe.
Some key facts about the Golden Shoe:
So in summary, it is the award given to the top goalscorer in European league football each season, weighted for the strength of each league. Claiming it is a huge achievement for a striker. The following players are the most realistic contenders for the award this season.
The young Englishman has made a superb start to life in La Liga with Real Madrid. He’s scored in his first four league games, matching Cristiano Ronaldo’s record.
Bellingham failed to score as Madrid came from behind to beat Sociedad, but he looks like a veteran already at just 20 years old. A frightening midfield talent.
Now PSG’s main man after Messi’s departure, Mbappe has started this season on fire. With 8 goals in 8 games, he’s on track to smash his career high of 33 league goals.
Mbappe has surprisingly only passed 30 goals once for PSG despite his reputation. But this could be the year his numbers explode in Messi’s absence. The Golden Boot is in his sights.
No surprises here as Haaland continues his goal-a-game form for Man City. With 9 goals in 9 Premier League games, he leads the scoring charts.
After winning last season’s Golden Boot, the Norwegian looks set to retain it comfortably. He is simply a goal machine.
Kane has taken the Bundesliga by storm with Bayern Munich. With Lewandowski gone, the England captain could challenge his 40-goal season record.
With 9 goals already, Kane is thriving in Nagelsmann’s attack. A couple of injury-hit years are behind him now.
With Lukaku and Messi gone, Martinez has become Inter’s attacking spearhead. He already has an astonishing 11 goals in just 8 games across all competitions.
Martinez is well on course to smash his personal best of 21 goals last season. If he maintains this form, Serie A’s top scorer prize is his.
The Guinea international has been a revelation since joining Stuttgart. He scored 20 goals on loan last season, but has exploded this term with 14 goals in just 8 games.
