Erling Haaland is the frontrunner, with Cole Palmer, Alexander Isak, Ollie Watkins, Dominic Solanke and Mo Salah in pursuit
, scoring 36 goals in his first campaign in England. He is unlikely to challenge his record for scoring the most goals in a, but 21 makes him the frontrunner against this season and would be considered an unequivocal success for any other striker in the league.
He is clinical and reliable in front of goal. No one else on this list has as good a shot conversion record this season. Isak has scored 19 goals from 66 shots and Elijah Adebayo have scored a greater proportion of their shots among players with at least 25 attempts, though neither has registered anywhere near as many efforts.
With 31 goal involvements, he is the first English player not called Harry Kane to record 30-plus in a Premier League season since Jamie Vardy helped Leicester win the title in 2015-16 . Watkins is on the verge of becoming the first Villa player to score 20 times in a Premier League season – and the first in the top flight since Peter Withe in 1981.
