Premier League top scorers 2022/23: Who is leading race for the Golden Boot?

IT is every Premier League striker's dream to add a Golden Boot to their cabinet - but a certain Norweigan forward seems to have written his name all of the award already!

Last season, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Tottenham's Son Hueng-min were forced to share the prize after bagging 23 goals each.

But Manchester City star Erling Haaland has already smashed that tally with over a month of Premier League action yet to play.

What Son said after sharing Golden Boot with Salah

After sharing the 2021/22 award with Salah of Liverpool, Tottenham's Son was ecstatic.

He said: “Even Lucas [Moura] who came on, Stevie [Steven Bergwijn], H [Kane], Eric [Dier], Ben [Davies].

“Every player was next to me and said, 'Sonny you've got to do this, you believe and you will get another chance'. Finally I scored and I scored second goal, it was just incredible.

“Today I missed the easiest chances but I scored one of the toughest chances.

“I'm very happy and I'm really, really grateful for the team that they helped me a lot, especially all season but this game today [Sunday], after 3-0 everyone was just like 'Go on Son, go on Son! You got to do this, you deserve this'.

“I was really appreciative and that's why I was pushing myself as well.”
