July 28, 2025 Oliver Obel

The 2025–26 Premier League season promises an intense battle for the Golden Boot. With rising stars, elite finishers, and fresh transfers all vying for dominance, this is our prediction for the top 20 goalscorers—ranked from 20 to 1, with exact goal totals.

20. Omar Marmoush – 10 Goals

The Egyptian forward could emerge as a surprise weapon in Pep Guardiola’s rotation. If he secures regular minutes, Marmoush’s pace and direct style could bring him double-digit returns.

19. Raúl Jiménez – 10 Goals

Though past his peak, Jiménez remains a reliable focal point for Fulham’s attack. His aerial presence and penalty duties keep him in the mix for meaningful contributions.

18. Justin Kluivert – 11 Goals

Kluivert had flashes of brilliance last season and seems poised to take a step forward. With more composure and end product, he should improve his scoring record.

17. Brennan Johnson – 11 Goals

Johnson’s pace and off-ball movement fit well in Ange Postecoglou’s system. If he sharpens his final product, a return of 11 goals is very realistic.

16. Anthony Elanga – 12 Goals

Elanga showed exciting bursts last year, and with Forest aiming to attack more, he could flourish. If he starts regularly, expect him to hit a solid dozen.

15. Liam Delap – 12 Goals

Now officially a Chelsea player, Delap brings fresh energy and physical presence to their frontline. If given minutes in rotation or cup-heavy periods, he could score a valuable 12 goals.

14. Bukayo Saka – 13 Goals

Saka remains one of Arsenal’s most consistent attacking threats from the right flank. His combination of penalties, set-piece influence, and open-play danger make 13 goals a solid prediction.

13. Jean-Philippe Mateta – 13 Goals

Mateta finished strong last season and could carry that form into 2025–26. His physicality and finishing touch in the box make 13 goals a strong possibility.

12. Jørgen Strand Larsen – 14 Goals

Strand Larsen brings a unique mix of power and technique. If Wolves feed him consistently, 14 goals could be his breakthrough mark.

11. Luis Díaz – 14 Goals

Díaz offers explosive movement and creativity from the wing. If he stays injury-free, he should emerge as a reliable second scorer for Liverpool.

10. Jarrod Bowen – 15 Goals

Bowen remains West Ham’s most consistent attacking outlet and thrives in a direct, counter-attacking setup. His ability to score from both open play and set pieces positions him for another strong season.

9. Yoane Wissa – 16 Goals

Wissa stepped up brilliantly in Ivan Toney’s absence last season and looks ready to lead Brentford’s frontline again. His sharp instincts in the box and improved finishing suggest he can hit 16 goals.

8. Ollie Watkins – 17 Goals

Watkins continues to evolve under Unai Emery as a well-rounded striker with strong link-up and clinical edge. Supported by Villa’s growing midfield creativity, a 17-goal haul looks likely.

7. Matheus Cunha – 18 Goals

Cunha’s flair and dribbling made him Wolves’ standout attacker, and he now looks set for a big leap. If he sharpens his finishing consistency, 18 goals is well within his grasp.

6. Cole Palmer – 19 Goals

Palmer became a revelation at Chelsea with his composure and playmaking quality. Expect him to be even more prolific this season, particularly if he continues to take penalties and plays in a central role.

5. Bryan Mbeumo – 20 Goals

Whether he stays at Brentford or joins West Ham, Mbeumo’s profile is on the rise. With his powerful left foot and dead-ball quality, 20 goals feels like a natural next step in his progression.

4. Alexander Isak – 23 Goals

Isak’s combination of dribbling, movement, and elite finishing make him Newcastle’s most dangerous asset. If he stays fit, he should comfortably pass the 20-goal mark and challenge for the Golden Boot.

3. Viktor Gyökeres – 25 Goals

Arsenal’s marquee striker signing is expected to thrive immediately under Mikel Arteta. With elite creators behind him and his own lethal finishing ability, Gyökeres could score 25 goals in his debut Premier League season.

2. Erling Haaland – 27 Goals

Haaland will always be a force of nature in Manchester City’s attack, even with rotation and injury concerns. Expect another monster season with close to 30 goals as long as he remains fit.

1. Mohamed Salah – 29 Goals

Salah continues to deliver elite goal tallies season after season. With a new-look Liverpool midfield built to unleash him even more, the Egyptian king is our pick to win the 2025–26 Golden Boot.
