*All odds are subject to change
Erling Haaland (Manchester City) – 1.67
As per usual, Haaland is the overwhelming favourite in this pre-season outright market. The Manchester City superstar has claimed three of the last four Golden Boot awards, including last season’s accolade. Haaland finished 2025-26 with 27 goals from 35 top-flight appearances, and it feels as if only injury would curtail his quest for another Golden Boot – even with Enzo Maresca replacing Pep Guardiola in the City hot-seat. Furthermore, Haaland’s displays at World Cup 2026 only strengthen his claim here, the giant striker scoring seven times in just five games to help Norway reach the quarter-finals.
Alexander Isak (Liverpool) – 9.00
The 2025-26 season was one to forget for Isak. After joining Liverpool from Newcastle for a British-record fee, the Swedish striker struggled with injuries and ended up scoring just four top-flight goals in 13 matches. But under Andoni Iraola in 2026-27, things could be very different for one of the world’s top strikers. Isak looked sharp at World Cup 2026 and has continued to impress in pre-season, recently scoring in Liverpool’s friendly vs AS Monaco. If his fitness issues are behind him, there is no reason why Isak cannot challenge Haaland in the Top Goalscorer standings. Lest we forget, Isak netted 44 times for Newcastle across the 2023-24 and 2024-25 campaigns, serious numbers.
Igor Thiago (Brentford) – 13.00
Thiago was electric in 2025-26, tallying 22 goals in 38 matches to finish as the runner-up to Haaland. However, it really is hard to escape the likelihood that the Brentford striker’s return was something of an anomaly. The phrase ‘one-season wonder’ is difficult to get out of the mind, particularly after watching Thiago struggle for Brazil at World Cup 2026. He started the first match vs Morocco, dropped an anonymous performance and then did not feature for Carlo Ancelotti’s side again. A pre-season pick best avoided? We reckon so.
Joao Pedro (Chelsea) – 17.00
But when it comes to outside picks in this Top Goalscorer market, it really is hard to look past Pedro. The forward was bizarrely afforded a full summer off after being omitted from Brazil’s World Cup squad, and he has been on fire in pre-season. Pedro scored a hat-trick in the 6-4 win over Western Sydney Wanderers, before recording a brace in the 3-0 victory vs AC Milan. The Chelsea star looks set to thrive in Xabi Alonso’s 3-4-3 formation alongside the likes of Cole Palmer and new signing Morgan Rogers, perhaps surpassing his 15-goal haul from last season.
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) – 21.00
Watkins is always in the mix for the Golden Boot accolade. Villa’s main man got off to a slow start last term, but still finished on 16 Premier League goals. He has scored 15+ goals in each of the last three seasons, his best effort of 19 coming in 2023-24. However, Villa have lost some key players this summer, namely Youri Tielemans and Morgan Rogers – two players who regularly supplied Watkins. So even with Unai Emery still at the helm, it is probably best to steer clear of the England international for now.
