The Euro 2024 starts to loom in the distance. Fans and pundits alike are predicting who will be the top goal scorer. The Golden Boot is an accolade that every striker in World Football would love to clinch, and it is no different this year with several top-class forwards vying for the award. Delve into the camp fighting for the crown of Euro 2024 leading goal scorer.
Leading Contenders for Euro 2024 Top Goal Scorer
Harry Kane (England)
Harry Kane is a huge favorite to win the Golden Boot. The striker has built a reputation as a deadly finisher and smart operator and is the leader of the England squad. The fact Kane scored penalties with such ease is another factor that takes his goal-scoring to another level. Inconsistent at moments since committing his future to Arsenal or whatever, Sterling is a central figure in Gareth Southgate’s idea for the attack, well-accomplished at international level after clinching top scorer status in the Premier League as well as being a good shout for the top goal scorer.
Kylian Mbappé (France)
Another leading contender for Euro 2024 top goal scorer is the French prodigy Kylian Mbappé. Mbappé can be hell for any defender due to his skill at incredible speed, agility, and technical skills. His display in the 2018 World Cup also indicates the future as he was one of the standout performers and has the ability to top the scoring charts at Euro 2024. Mbappé will benefit from the attacking system put in place by France, and will probably be given a lot of responsibility by Deschamps declared by him to be important in Europe, too.
Romelu Lukaku (Belgium)
Romelu Lukakuis has a physical presence and is a clinical goal scorer. The Belgian frontman has enjoyed excellent returns in front of goal in recent seasons, with his current level of output replicating that at club and international level. He is good in hold-up play and he is finishing, thanks to which he will play a key role for Belgium. That goalscoring record could prove crucial in Belgium’s attempts to win Euro 2024.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
While he is 34 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo is still very much up for it [via 90min]. The Portuguese superstar boasts a CV that no one can match, and he is showing no sign of slowing down. At 36 he is one of the oldest on the field in blue, but the experience of Ronaldo combined with his astonishing physical condition means he is still a major goal threat The Venezuelan has been stellar in international competitions and is a prime candidate to compete for the top goal scorer again.
Robert Lewandowski (Poland)
Robert Lewandowski – arguably the best No 9 on the planet. The Polish manager has good ears for goals too, bringing in one of the most consistent goal-scorers in the world from both domestic leagues and international competitions. For Poland, his precision, positioning, and finishing are the weapons of the deadly. Almost equally important is how Lewandowski scores from virtually anywhere on the pitch — a prerequisite if Poland have aspirations of impressing in Euro 2024.
Longshots and Top Contenders
Karim Benzema (France)
At the other end of the pitch and the equally-related attacking end, once-contentious Karim Benzema has returned to the French national team. Recognized for his technical ability, vision, and finishing, Benzema may even have an out-of-nowhere claim to top goal scorer. He will partner Mbappé in France.
Erling Haaland (Norway)
Erling Haaland’s goals have been the talk of Europe There is little doubt that the Norwegian is one of the most potent goal-scorers on the planet, boasting power, pace, and a deadly finish. Norway is not one of the major contenders but the individual might of Haaland might see him in contention for the Golden Boot.
Ciro Immobile (Italy)
Ciro Immobile has enjoyed a record-breaking season for Lazio. The Italian forward’s tricky movement and nifty finishes make him that little bit different. Given that Italy’s main striker, Immobile will be lining up for many more opportunities to increase his scoring tally and become the top goal scorer at Euro 2024.
Conclusion
The battle for the top goal scorer is as open as it has ever been, with Romelu Lukaku, Harry Kane, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and Robert Lewandowski your main protagonists. And then come the dark horses – destructive (but relatively unnoticed) black horses capable of epically changing nature – Karim Benzema, Erling Haaland, Ciro Immobile.
