The player with the most goals in the Premier League 2021-2022: Update the ranking of the golden shoe

Who can catch Mohamed Salah top the scoring charts in the Premier League? That will be the theme for the rest of the 2021-22 season with the Egypt international taking five goals away from second place.

But January could be the month that sees others cut to his considerable advantage as Salah departs with Egypt for the Cup of African Nations tournament. If Egypt advances to the AFCON final on February 6, it will mean a month’s absence of Salah and a chance for the pursuers to make a run of it.

Salah’s teammates, Diogo Jota (10 goals), he should have had a chance to add to Liverpool’s total. People who are always hungry for goals Jamie Vardy (9 goals) could be a factor if a hamstring injury doesn’t cost him game time. Son Heung-min’s The yield (8 goals) can increase with a resurgent Tottenham, and you can never count Cristiano Ronaldo (7 goals) despite the ups and downs of Manchester United.

And in case you’re wondering, other popular names are still behind: Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal) are all still stuck with four goals in the middle of the season. Lukaku and Kane are both completing form, with the former returning from an injury hiatus and the latter having hit his stride under Antonio Conte. Aubameyang, meanwhile, is a hot commodity this winter after falling out of favor with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta because of disciplinary issues.
