Sport has evaluated a few of the competitors.
Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku will have a lot of support after breaking the scoring record with 14 goals in a single European Championship qualification campaign.
With 83 goals in 114 games, the 31-year-old is currently Belgium’s all-time top scorer. The Euros this summer will mark his sixth major competition with the Red Devils.
At the 2018 World Cup, he scored four goals in seven games to win the Bronze Boot.
Cody Gakpo looks to be the major candidate for the Golden Boot from the Netherlands.
After scoring in each of their three group matchups, the Liverpool forward led their team in goals scored at the 2022 World Cup with three.
The 25-year-old has made 23 appearances for his country total, scoring nine goals.
Gianluca Scamacca is most likely best known to Premier League viewers for his brief tenure at West Ham in the 2022–2023 campaign, during which he scored just three goals in the league.
However, since joining Atalanta again, the 25-year-old has found his best form again, netting 19 goals across all competitions to help the Italian team win the Europa League.
