Who has the most Golden Boots in Premier League History?

May 28, 2026

Opinion

The history of Premier League Golden Boot winners dates back to 1992, and it’s the greatest honour for goal scorers in the UK.

Getting the Golden Boot is actually quite difficult. Players like Rooney, Torres and Fowler have never won it. Yet, they are considered among the greatest strikers in Premier League history. So when a player wins it multiple times, it tells you everything about their quality. Here are the players who have won the most Premier League Golden Boots in history.

Footballers with the Most Golden Boots in Premier League History

Mohamed Salah and Thierry Henry have the most Golden Boots in Premier League history right now, with four wins each. Here’s the full list:

Mohamed Salah (4)
- Liverpool (2017/18, 2018/19, 2021/22, 2024/25)
Thierry Henry (4)
- Arsenal (2001/02, 2003/04, 2004/05, 2005/06)
Alan Shearer (3)
- Blackburn Rovers (1994/95, 1995/96)
- Newcastle United (1996/97)
Erling Haaland (3)
- Manchester City (2022/23, 2023/24, 2025/26)
Harry Kane (3)
- Tottenham Hotspur (2015/16, 2016/17, 2020/21)
Didier Drogba (2)
- Chelsea (2006/07, 2009/10)
Robin van Persie (2)
- Arsenal (2011/12)
- Manchester United (2012/13)
Michael Owen (2)
- Liverpool (1997/98, 1998/99)
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (2)
- Leeds United (1998/99)
- Chelsea (2000/01)

Four Golden Boots has looked like a safe number for a long time. Henry and Salah, both sitting on it, felt almost untouchable. But, at the time of writing, Erling Haaland is already on three, and he hasn’t even been in the Premier League that long. Haaland won his third Golden Boot in the 2025/26 season. The Norwegian is already shortening odds on any boostfinder to break Henry and Salah’s record, unless we start seeing unorthodox winners on the back of false nines’ tactical revival in football.

The Golden Boot is one of those records that sounds simple. But when you look at the names who’ve never won it, and the ones who’ve won it four times, it tells you everything about how hard consistency at the top is. And it’s not the only record in Premier League history that surprises people, the most fouled player in the league’s history is another one that catches fans off guard.
