At the end of every season the Premier League presents the Golden Boot award to the player, or players, to have scored the most goals in that campaign.
History
The award has been presented since the start of the Premier League, in 1992/93.
In the event of joint top scorers, the accolade is shared, with awards for each player.
Past winners
The award is held by Erling Haaland, who claimed the 2023/24 prize, his second successive Golden Boot, with 27 goals for Manchester City.
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has won the Golden Boot a record four times and is one of only two players to have won it three years in a row, between 2003/04 and 2005/06.
Alan Shearer is the other, for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United, between 1994/95 and 1996/97.
