Most goals scored in a Premier League season: All-time records

He followed that up with a second consecutive Golden Boot win last term but injuries and Man City's struggles mean he won't be hitting his usual heights in 2024/25.

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah is set to fall just short in what has been a remarkable campaign – though the single-season goal contributions record is under serious threat.

Having put pen to paper on a new two-year deal at Anfield, Salah will take another shot at Haaland's crown next term but it does feel like the most likely player to break that record is the Norwegian himself.

Only 10 players have ever scored 30+ goals in a single Premier League season, two of whom will battle it out again next term.

Who could score the most goals in Premier League history?

All eyes had turned to Harry Kane as the only candidate anywhere near toppling Alan Shearer's legendary record.

The former Tottenham superstar is 31 years old and is less than 50 goals shy of the all-time record. He was in terrific goalscoring form during the 2022/23 season and has plenty of fuel in the tank.

But there's a catch. The word former.

Kane's bid is on ice while he stars for Bayern Munich, with no guarantees he'll return to the Premier League to finish the job. That said, you wouldn't rule him out from one last tilt at breaking the record before he retires.

Mohamed Salah is the highest-scoring active Premier League player and his new two-year contract at Liverpool should see him climb even higher on the all-time list.

Based on this season's exploits, Salah could surpass Kane in the next two seasons but he will surely need to extend his stay at Anfield further if he is to have any chance of taking Shearer's crown.

Erling Haaland is on course to hit the 100 mark faster than any of his predecessors and will rocket up the list if he sees out his 10-year contract at Manchester City – though in modern football, that's a big if.

The 24-year-old has been scoring at a remarkable rate since his arrival in the Premier League but is set to miss out on a third consecutive Golden Boot in 2024/25 due to Salah's brilliance.
