The Euros are here and England is the favourites to win the competition for the first time in history. Harry Kane will be leading England’s charge, and he will also be in the running to be the competition's top scorer and win the Golden Boot. Alongside Kylian Mbappe, Kane’s biggest rivals to be top scorer could come from his own teammates.
Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden have both had excellent goal scoring seasons for their clubs. So can either of the younger Three Lions outscore their more experienced skipper in Germany? Harry Kane is one of the top strikers in world football. Ahead of the Three Lions’ opening game against Serbia, Kane boasts an international record of 63 goals in 91 games for England.
Kane has also just completed a record-breaking season at Bayern Munich, scoring 36 Bundesliga goals in 32 appearances for Germany’s biggest club. This means he heads to the Euros in exceptional form and at the top of his game. To win the Golden Boot at Euro 2024, Kane is second favourite behind France’s Kylian Mbappe.
There’s not much between them in the betting with Mbappe at 9/2 and Kane at 5/1. Other names in the mix are Ronaldo, Olivier Giroud and Romelu Lukaku. Kane is also the favourite to be the top scorer for Gareth Southgate’s England at Euro 2024.
But for once, Kane has plenty of rivals within his own squad. The threat doesn’t necessarily come from fellow strikers Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney, but more from Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden,.
