With all the Euro 2024 squads announced, it is time to speculate who the best players are going to be. But this time, we will talk about the potential top scorers of the competition. Out of hundreds of players, only one will emerge as the top scorer of the competition.
While it was usual to see more than one player share this award in the past, recently, a player who has more assists in the event of a tie will be crowned the top scorer. Now, let’s check out who the potential Euro 2024 top scorers who could win the award are.
Kylian Mbappe (France)
Kylian Mbappe has ended his PSG career and will be joining Real Madrid this summer. But before he ventures to Spain, he will try and lead France to a European Championship. Mbappe has won the top scorer award at the most recent World Cup competition, making him one of the obvious contenders to win this year.
What Mbappe brings to the table are also playmaking and assists. Besides scoring a bunch of goals himself, he benefits the team by making assists to his teammates. If Les Bleus finally goes all the way this year, he will surely be one of the Euro 2024 top scorers.
Harry Kane (England)
The English captain has been one of the Euro 2024 qualifiers top scorers. He scored eight goals to help the Three Lions qualify for another Euros. At Euro 2020, where England reached the final, he scored four goals and was just one shy of Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrik Schick who scored five apiece.
Out of all English Euro 2024 players, Kane is the most prolific one and is this generation’s top scorer. He has the ability to score at will, plus he is on penalty duty as well. For England to achieve success, Kane has to score goals. And if he gets going from the very first game, we are bound to see him reach the very top of scorers very fast.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
We can’t make a list of Euro 2024 top scorers without mentioning Cristiano Ronaldo. He is 39 years old and has been playing in Saudi Arabia for the past year, but he did not forget how to score goals. In fact, he continued from where he left off in Europe.
He might not have the best Euro 2024 top goalscorer odds at this moment. But his stock remains high based on historical merit. He is the European competition all-time best scorer with 14 goals. Cristiano has played in the previous five competitions and has gotten himself on the scoresheet in every one of them. If he does win, he will become the first player to win back-to-back top scorer titles and also the oldest player to do it.
