Ronaldo, Haaland, Salah: Who will win the 2022/23 Premier League Golden Boot?
It’s Premier League eve and the hype is seriously real for the season ahead.
One of the things fans are most excited about is the vast array of attacking options available to clubs that, it strangely seems wasn’t really a thing last year.
Erling Haaland has joined Manchester City, Darwin Nunez has gone to Liverpool – those two were always going to be the standouts and they join clubs that lacked a traditional striker.
However, Gabriel Jesus’ switch to Arsenal and the fiery pre-season form he’s been in since joining has created a whole new dynamic where he almost feels like a brand new signing, finally free of the shackles of limited game time at City.
We have the devastating Harry Kane at Spurs also. Not to mention, potentially at least, Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United.
And we haven’t even gotten onto the goal-hungry wingers like Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min yet – both of whom shared the Golden Boot last campaign.
Summary? We might have the most attackingly stacked Premier League of all time.
Who, though, will triumph as elite scorers in the world’s hardest league? Because a few are bound to flop.

Christian Pulisic, Roberto Firmino, Lucas Moura, Hakim Ziyech, Nicolas Pepe, Timo Werner, Eddie Nketiah
There’s enough reasons to suggest that all of these players could seriously struggle for goals this upcoming season.
The arrival of Raheem Sterling is sure to limit Pulisic’s game time massively, and it’s a similar case with both Moura and Nketiah thanks to the plethora of attacking options available at Tottenham and Arsenal now.
Firmino was good enough for just five Premier League
