Who will win the Euro 2024 Golden Boot?

Euro 2024 is as close as it gets, with the competition kicking off at the end of this European season.

It is one of the best competitions in the world, and fans are always delighted to see the best European players do well for their different countries.

The last Euros was a bit different and exciting in its own way, and the next one will probably be better even though it will be hosted by one country, with Germany as the host.

We have the best players in the world playing in the European leagues, and most of the teams are led by players from a country in the continent.

This is why the Euros remain the second-best international competition in the world after the World Cup.

There are several players working hard to help their country qualify for the competition, and we expect most of them to deliver top performances when it starts.

One stat people look out for in the competition is goals, and this includes both the country with the most goals scored as well as the players who have scored the most goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrik Schick were the top scorers in the last Euros, with each player scoring five times each for Portugal and the Czech Republic in the competition.

The next version of the tournament will see both players represent their country if they qualify for the competition, and we expect them to still be among the top scorers.

However, there are other players who will make fans buy Euro 2024 tickets here because of the goals they could score and how much impact they will make for their country. 

In this article, we will cover some of them and give reasons why they are players to follow when the competition starts.

Harry Kane, England

Kane was the top scorer at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and has broken the record for the most goals scored for the England national team.

At 30, the striker has just left Tottenham to move to Bayern Munich, where he would be challenged afresh and will even be a better player when the Euros come around.

England is banking on Kane to end their wait for a new trophy, and the Three Lions will do all they can to ensure he gets the right supply to deliver the goals and the trophy for the nation.

Erling Haaland, Norway

Haaland has conquered European club football with Manchester City and will likely win the Club World Cup with Citizens before this competition begins.

Manchester City started the new Premier League season with a win over Burnley at the weekend, which shows that they are not tired of winning and are setting themselves up to be champions again.

Haaland scored twice in that match, and defenders are in for a long season when they face the striker.

If he continues that way, the striker will be one of the hardest men to face in the Euros, and he is one man that could easily win the Golden Boot at the competition.

Norway has some superb talents in their ranks at the moment, including Arsenal’s captain Martin Odegaard who has the creativity to create chances for Haaland.

For a player who has scored 209 career goals at the age of 23, it is hard not to consider Haaland one of the players to win the Golden Boot at Euro 2024.

Kylian Mbappe, France

Mbappe is one of the best players Europe has ever produced, and he is one reason France could be European champions at the end of this competition.

The striker scored a hat trick at the final of the last World Cup against Argentina, even though France still lost to the South Americans.

He was the star of the tournament when France won the 2018 World Cup as a teenager at the time and has gone on to break the goalscoring record at PSG already.

Mbappe is one of the world’s best players and has already scored 40 goals in just 70 games for France, a country he captains.

After resolving his future with PSG, we expect him to enjoy a remarkable captain with the Parisians, which will prepare him to lead his country at this Euros.

Germany is not so far from France, and several French fans would be in the competition, hopeful of ending it as champions of Europe again after they lost the 2016 final when Mbappe was just 16.

Robert Lewandowski, Poland

Lewandowski has remained one of the best strikers in the world for much of his career, and the Pole will be eager to ensure he proves he is still good enough for the top of the game in this Euros.

Poland nearly never goes into international competitions as favourites to win them, even with him as their captain.

Lewandowski also often struggles to show the remarkable form he has at club level in these competitions, but his goalscoring record means we cannot underestimate him.

He scored three goals in as many matches at Euro 2020 and 79 goals for Poland, making him the country’s top scorer.

If they qualify for the Euros, they could become the underdog that shocks the continent after doing so well for themselves at the last World Cup.

For that to happen, Lewandowski must be in top form, and his countrymen trust him to deliver if he is given the chance to find the back of the net.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal

Ronaldo will be 39 at the next Euros, but Roberto Martinez has continued to select him, a decision that means we could watch him bow out of international football in style.

The Al Nassr star has just won his first trophy with the Saudi club and does not play like someone who is already his age.

This makes it easy to see why he will be one of the leading scorers at Euro 2024. He won the Golden Boot at the last edition of the competition and was a champion at Euro 2016.

Portugal has some of the best midfielders in the world, so there won’t be a shortage of chances for Ronaldo to convert.

Romelu Lukaku, Belgium

This could be Lukaku’s last international competition for Belgium, as their Golden generation is wasted without a trophy to show.

Eden Hazard has already retired from international football, but Lukaku and the likes of Kevin de Bruyne keep the Belgians competitive, and they will be eager to ensure they can finally land a trophy for their country.

The Chelsea striker is in search of a new club, but his international pedigree cannot be debated for any reason.

Lukaku is Belgium’s all-time highest goalscorer with 75 goals from 108 games, and he is a different player when he plays for the Red Devils.

The Belgian has scored goals for fun for different clubs, and if Belgium will make a meaningful impact at Euro 2024 to banish the ghost of their dismal outing at the last World Cup, he would be a key player for them.

Whichever club he plays for this term, he will score goals and that will prepare him to challenge other players for the top scorer at Euro 2024.

Patrik Schick, Czech Republic

Schick was a surprise joint top-scorer at Euro 2020 as he scored five times just like Cristiano Ronaldo did, including some sumptuous goals.

The attacker is one of the finest players for his country, even though he did not score regularly for Bayer Leverkusen last season.

The next Euros presents him with a chance to show that his performance at Euro 2020 was not a one-off and that he can be classed as one of the top scorers in international football.

There is always room for a surprising player to come to the next Euros and win the Golden Boot, but these players have shown they have what it takes to be the keymen for their nation, and we can be sure they will score goals at Euro 2024.
