Top 10 Premier League Top Scorers as Mo Salah Lead Chase for Golden Boot

• Mohamed Salah has a comfortable lead on the top goalscorers charts with 16 goals to his name
• He is expected to face stiff competition from a number of players including teammates Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane
• Jamie Vardy is also in the frame to win the Golden Boot after a stunning run of form with Leicester City

Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah is currently leading the 2021/22 goalscoring charts after notching 16 goals.

Salah narrowly missed out on the Golden Boot last season as Tottenham's Harry Kane carted home the prestigious prize with 23 goals.

However, the Egyptian who is currently on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations has shown clear intention to pick the award after bagging 16 goals already with the season entering the second half.

The two-time EPL Golden Boot winner is sure to face some stiff competition from a number of players also in the mix for the individual award.
