The Premier League is the most watched football league in the world. Competitiveness, huge transfer fees, speed, and the physicality of the league all play a part in this. People are always most interested in goals and so attacking players are in the spotlight more. To prepare you for the upcoming season, here are our 2023 Premier League top goalscorer predictions.
The Prem has some of the most valuable players in the world and is the biggest football league financially. Along with the league winners outrights bets, the top goalscorer category is also very popular with audiences globally. The top goalscorers haven’t gone over 23 goals since the 2017/18 season everyone is curious if players like Haaland or Nunez can break that this season. Here are the predictions for the 2023 Premier League top goalscorer with odds included.
Erling Haaland’s Inhumane Numbers are Expected in 2023
Because of his insane numbers in the past couple of seasons, Haaland is widely considered the favourite to finish as the top goalscorer in the Premier League in 2023. Erling has many doubters as well since he is yet to play in a regular season match for City. The 22-year-old striker has scored 5 goals in 4 matches for his country. Check out our Nations League Group B predictions to see Norway’s chances in the competition. Haaland was also quick to prove himself, having scored a goal against Bayern in the 11th minute during a pre-season friendly on 23 July.
In the 2021/22 season, the Norwegian scored 29 goals in 30 appearances across four competitions, including the Bundesliga and the Champions League. We believe Erling’s playstyle and physique will help him a lot in the Premier League. On 888sport, his odds to be the 2023 Premier League top goalscorer are 9/4. The main reasons behind these numbers and predictions are the fact that he plays for City; he has one of the best goal conversion rates in the world, and his immense speed and strength both on and off the ball. If Haaland stays healthy, we see him winning the award in the upcoming season.
Mohamed Salah Takes on a Leading Role at Liverpool
Liverpool’s star player has already proven himself to be more than capable of running a riot on opponents’ defences. The 30-year-old winger received a contract extension on 1 July that is supposed to keep him with the Reds until 2025. In the 2021/22 season, Salah became the joint-top goalscorer in the Premier League along with Spurs striker Son.
They both scored 23 goals. He could have gone for more but in the second half of the season, Salah’s numbers decreased a bit. Liverpool’s chances to win the league are really good, as discussed in our 2023 Premier League betting tips. Similarly, so are Salah’s odds to be the top goalscorer.
The Egyptian international’s odds to win the award in 2023 are 9/2, second only to Haaland. Darwin Nunez was brought in to replace the hole that Mané left in Liverpool’s attack. Depending on how Klopp decides to use the new attacking trio, Salah’s numbers can change. If they decide to make Nunez their priority goalscorer, Salah might score under 20 goals in the upcoming season. However online sportsbook news in the UK believes that Nunez will need more time to get comfortable in the Premier League and so Salah will remain the main attacking option until then.
The World has Set Expectations High for Darwin Nunez – 2023 Premier League Top Goalscorer Predictions
Talk of the devil, young people look towards young Darwin with high expectations. Nunez’s transfer fee was £64 million which could initially rise to £85 million if he accomplishes certain things included in the contract. Because of this, the Uruguayan striker became Liverpool’s most expensive signing in the club’s history.
So it’s only natural that people expect big things from him. Nunez found the back of the net four times during Liverpool’s pre-season friendly against Leipzig. However, we’re only in the pre-season, and sites like 888sport consider this as well. Nunez will fit into Liverpool’s squad well but his odds to be the 2023 Premier League top goalscorer are 17/2.

Darwin had 34 goals in 41 appearances for Benfica last season, including two against the Reds in the UCL quarter-finals. We believe that Nunez is a quality striker that can become one of the best in the world under Liverpool’s and Klopp’s system. If you think you don’t see enough of the striker, check out our World Cup Group H predictions to see Nunez’s and Uruguay’s chances in the competition this year.
Disaster at United – Chaos, Uncertainty, and Ronaldo
On 28 July, news broke out that Cristiano Ronaldo asked to be released from the final year of his contract. This would make him a free agent, effective immediately. The Portuguese star wasn’t traveling with the team, officially due to family reasons. His agent has been trying to find a new home for the 37-year-old, preferably a club that plays in the Champions League in the upcoming season. As of 28 July, online sportsbook sites in the UK still include Premier League odds for Ronaldo. This is either a sign that he won’t be allowed to leave or that updates haven’t been made yet.
CR7 is the fourth favourite to be the 2023 Premier League top goalscorer but we advise against betting on him. Currently, his odds are 10/1 which would be very profitable but with the ongoing chaos at United, it would be unwise to back this category. This subsection was just a heads-up for anyone that is planning to make bets on the Portuguese superstar.
Heung-Min Son Possibly Snubbed in Early Predictions for the 2023 Premier League Top Goalscorer
Undoubtedly millions of fans will agree that putting the joint-top goalscorer of the 2021/22 season as the fifth favourite to win again is nothing short of disrespectful. Son became the fastest player in Premier League history to score 85 goals (currently on 93) and also the first ever Asian player to be the Premier League top goalscorer. Last season Son had 23 league goals, the same as Salah, and shared the award with the Liverpool winger. On 888sport, his odds to win the award again are 12/1.
Spurs brought in 25-year-old Richarlison for £48 million. The club now has three quality first-team strikers in Son, Kane, and Richarlison. It looks like Tottenham aren’t planning on selling Son, but Kane’s Bayern rumours are still in the wind. Check out our Bundesliga transfer predictions for more on this matter. Son is one to watch out for in the upcoming season and it might be a good idea to consider betting on him while his odds are this low. He’s a top three favourite to be the 2023 Premier League top goalscorer.
