Ahead of the 21/22 Premier League season, we'll be outlining all the popular outright betting markets.
We've already delved into the title winner odds here, and today, we'll be picking out those names that look set to challenge for the golden boot.
Take a look at some of the early prices below!
Last year's winner in Harry Kane (23) has been made the outright 21/22 favourite for the Premier League golden boot at 4/1.
He nipped Mohammed Salah by a single goal to get his hands on the prize - his first since 2017. The striker's name has simple become synonymous with goals, registering 20+ in the league, in four of the last six seasons.
The 25+ goal range tends to be around the sweet-spot for the golden boot, and the Englishman is always going to be expected to push for this number. His Euro 2020 performances showcased that the goals will always come, even despite his new tendencies to drop deep to see the ball.
Kane is the main man at Spurs and with the creative Son Heung-min drifting around, chances will continue to fall his way. Should he opt for the blue side of Manchester, the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling will ensure this doesn't change.
Either way, the 27-year-old will be fancying his chances in retaining his title.
Since returning to England, Salah has won the golden boot in two of his four campaigns with Liverpool. As mentioned, he was only beaten by one last season.
No player in the division has actually scored more than the Egyptian during his time with the Reds, so it certainly isn't surprising to see the forward come in just behind the Spurs striker at 11/2. As we will see, these two are head and shoulders above the rest in the pecking order.
The above stat highlights Salah's prolific nature in-front of goal, even last season in a vastly underwhelming Liverpool side. Cutting in from the right, the 29-year-old has always operated the same way. 'Arjen Robben-esque', everybody knows what he is going to do, but stopping him remains a puzzle.
Salah enjoys drifting inside and holding a high attacking position, letting his fellow frontmen create for him. He will continue to play this role for as long as he remains at Anfield and from it, the goals will always find a way to come.
Despite his lowest goalscoring season for Manchester City in three years, Raheem Sterling showcased his attacking brilliance at Euro 2020. Arguably England's best performer, the forward had any doubters debating his quality eating their words.
Most notably, it looked as though his confidence had rekindled. So often had been the sight of Sterling at the Etihad - right place, right time. Forced criticism of 'he only scores tap ins' to try and diminish the actual goalscoring tendencies of the Englishman fall on deaf ears. This positioning and ability to attack space saw him register three goals at the Euros - a sight that will have been welcomed by Pep Guardiola.
Such momentum will be carried into the new Premier League season and at 10/1, punters may fancy the 26-year-old to really kick on, and get back to his very best on a consistent basis.
Gabriel Jesus is a curious case to study. On paper, he's a 24-year-old with 50 Premier League goals in just 131 games. Such stats should see him be touted as one of the finest talents in the country, but there remains an obvious, looming doubt over his long-term capability to be City's main man up-top.
His record though, his exactly what is required from the frontman at the Etihad. Surrounded by central and wide playmakers, the number nine just needs to find the back of the net. However, this doesn't seem enough to satisfy Guardiola.
Harry Kane's name continues to be linked to the PL Champions, and such an arrival would see Jesus' playing time drop even further. Even at times last season, the manager opted for a false nine system, including the Champions League final.
At 20/1 though, his odds are relatively shorter than other names in the market. If he was guaranteed 35+ starts, he could be worth the risk. However, it would be wise to see how City's summer plans play out first.
Two names that the bookmakers seem to be fancying are Diogo Jota and Timo Werner. Both players share odds of 14/1 to win the Golden Boot, with such a price being somewhat of a surprise.
Neither forwards managed to hit double digits in the league (Jota 9 + Werner 6), and yet, their odds are much shorter than the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Patrick Bamford and Son Heung-min, all of whom registered comfortably over the 15 mark.
Although his place as one of the frontrunners still comes as a shock, Jota's numbers do need to be judged in context. He only featured 19 times for Liverpool, in his debut season for a Liverpool side that has so heavily relied on their usual front three. The Portuguese has simply been a more clinical alternative to Roberto Firmino, and could this season be identified as the superior choice.
Werner, however, played 35 games. His return of 6 is certainly not encouraging reading, and the German has picked up an unwanted stigma of not being able to put his chances away. This was further heightened in the CL final and also the European Championships. Even now with a year experience in England, those predicting him for the Golden Boot will most likely be labeled naive, not bold.
Patrick Bamford did himself and Leeds proud in their first season back in the Premier League. 17 goals to his name, only three players managed more. Leading the line of Marcelo Bielsa's side, chances continue to fall the 27-year-old's way. His odds of 25/1 are a fair reflection on last season's performances, given that he was 100/1 this time last year.
On the topic of over-performing, Dominic Calvert-Lewin last season solidified his name in being a top Premier League forward. His 16-goal tally was a career best and the 24-year-old looks to be on an upwards trajectory. There do remain questions as to how high this Everton side can finish, but under Rafa Benetiz, they are guaranteed to be a solid outfit. DCL fans can find the striker at 33/1 to win the Golden Boot.
Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings both also share odds of 33/1. The former will welcome Aston Villa's new signing, Emi Buendía, who registered 16 assists last season. Should Jack Grealish stay, the Claret and Blues look well equipped, and their talisman will flourish once again in such a set-up.
Heading into the new campaign, it remains unseen as to where Ings will be playing his football. Could he replace the departing Kane at Spurs? If so, his odds will likely shorten.
At 25/1, is Bruno Fernandes being unfairly overlooked by the bookmakers?
Only Kane and Salah scored more than the attacking midfielder last season, and yet, you can't find the former duo at anything above 5/1.
Of course, the obvious factor contributing to Bruno's price is his position on the field. Despite being granted a license to roam around the final third, the Portuguese holds creative duties at Manchester United. The attacking figures of Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial rely on his forward passing, as opposed to the team solely creating chances for Fernandes himself - unlike many on this list.
However, his proven goalscoring record would suggest he will continue to be in the mix. Averaging 1 in under 2 games since his arrival in England, his price certainly can be categorised as big.
