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

  /  Ronaldoyyds

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 machine Erling Haaland has already smashed that tally with so much of the campaign left 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.”
