Premier League Top Scorers After 10 Gameweeks: Haaland Leads, But Saka Is Closing

The 2026-27 Premier League golden boot race is already shaping up to be one of the most competitive in years. Erling Haaland leads the way, as he has in each of his four previous seasons at City, but behind him a clutch of players are making a genuine case for the award. Here is the full top-10 after ten gameweeks.

Golden Boot Standings — Gameweek 10

1. Erling Haaland (Manchester City) — 11 goals: Two hat-tricks and counting. No other player has reached double figures at this point.
2. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) — 8 goals: The Egyptian King shows no sign of slowing down at 34. Eight goals from ten games is a pace that would see him reach 30 for the season.
3. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) — 7 goals: Seven goals and six assists. If you include assists in the tally, Saka is arguably the most productive attacking player in the division.
4. Brennan Johnson (Tottenham) — 7 goals: The Welshman has finally found his level. Under Spurs' new manager, he is operating as a central striker rather than a wide forward, and the results speak for themselves.
5. Alexander Isak (Newcastle) — 6 goals: The Swedish striker continues to be one of the Premier League's most elegant finishers. All six goals have come from inside the penalty area.
6. Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) — 6 goals: The England striker started the season on fire before a one-game suspension interrupted his rhythm. Back now and looking sharp.
7. Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) — 5 goals: The Senegalese forward has been Maresca's most dangerous outlet, combining well with Cole Palmer in the number ten role.
8. Danny Welbeck (Brighton) — 5 goals: At 35, Welbeck is defying all logic. Five goals in his first ten appearances of the season, including a memorable brace at Old Trafford.
9. Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest) — 5 goals: Forest's New Zealand striker remains one of the most underrated finishers in the league. Consistent and clinical from centre-forward.
10. Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) — 5 goals: Part of an Arsenal attack that has the best goals-per-game ratio in the division, Martinelli's pace and directness continue to cause havoc.

Ones to Watch

Just outside the top ten, Dominic Solanke (Manchester United, 4 goals) and Ivan Toney (Brentford, 4 goals) are both threatening a run up the table if their teams can convert more of the chances they create. Toney in particular has racked up an xG of 5.9, suggesting he is due a significant goal haul if his current form holds.

The Golden Boot Verdict

Haaland is the overwhelming favourite. His conversion rate and the number of chances City create make it hard to see anyone catching him if he stays fit. But Salah and Saka will push him all the way, and in a season this open at the top, golden boot races have been known to surprise.
