Premier League Golden Boot

The **Premier League Golden Boot** is a yearly football award that is given to footballers who score the most goals in a Premier league season. The winners are also given £1000 for each goal they have scored in the season.

The first person to win the Premier League Golden Boot was Teddy Sheringham during the 1992-93 season.  Arsenal F.C.'s Thierry Henry and Liverpool F.C's Mohamed Salah have both won the award 4 times and currently hold the record for the most Golden Boots wins in the history of Premier League. Only two players have won the award for 3 consecutive (back-to-back) years, namely Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer. Most recently (2024-25), the award was won by Mohamed Salah; who won it for the Fourth time.

The first international players to win the Premier League Golden Boot were Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Dwight Yorke during the 1998-99 season.
