2022 Golden Boot favorites
Harry Kane (+700)
In 71 games with the Three Lions, Harry Kane has been able to score 50 goals. The 28-year-old striker is only three goals back of Wayne Rooney for the most goals in English history at 53.
Kane scored 17 goals in the Premier League this year, after a slow start. With the way he's performing, there's no reason the London native can't break Rooney's record or match his own six goals in the 2018 World Cup that awarded him his first-ever Golden Boot.
Kylian Mbappe (+900)
Mbappe is only 23 years old but it feels like he's been around forever now. The PSG star had another marvelous year in Ligue 1, scoring 28 goals, and will be the go-to player on a France team looking to repeat as champions in November.
In the 2018 World Cup, Mbappe became the youngest French player to score in the history of the tournament and walked away with the Best Young Player Award for his total of four goals as France ended up winning it all.
As well as Mbappe performed in 2018, he could be even better this time around.
Karim Benzema (+1,200)
France's other forward, Karim Benzema, rounds out the Top 3 at +1,100. Benzema's long exile from the French national team ended last summer at the Euros, and since then, he's laid claim to the status of best forward in the world.
Benzema was masterful for Real Madrid, leading them to the La Liga title and an unlikely Champions League triumph. In all likelihood, Benzema will take the Ballon d'Or as the World Cup gets underway in November.
