Robert Lewandowski | Bayern Munich | 23 goals
Robert Lewandowski seemed to be getting better and better at Bayern Munich, despite the fact that he is 33 years old. The striker is the defending European Golden Shoe winner and might win it for the second year in a row.
He got off to a fast start in the 2021-22 Bundesliga season, but he will have heavy competition from Real Madrid’s Benzema, who is in fine form.
Karim Benzema | Real Madrid | 17 goals
Karim Benzema has had a resurgence this season, and the Real Madrid veteran is still proving to be a huge asset to his team. Benzema has continued his good form for Los Blancos, scoring a hat-trick against Celta Vigo after a solid summer with France at Euro 2020.
Ciro Immobile | Lazio | 17 goals
Ciro Immobile, who led Lazio to sixth place in Serie A last season with 20 goals, will no doubt strive to break his own record this season. Now that Italy has won the European Championship, the striker will be looking to improve his Serie A finish this season.
Mohamed Salah | Liverpool | 16 goals
As Liverpool tries to win their second Premier League title in three years, Mohamed Salah will be vying for the Golden Boot. Salah has already made an impression this season, scoring against Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea.
Wissam Ben Yedder | Monaco | 13 goals
Wissam Ben Yedder scored 20 Ligue 1 goals in his second season with Monaco after arriving to France from Sevilla, and he might easily surpass that total this season.
