Former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham has backed Liverpool star Alexander Isak to win the Premier League’s Golden Boot award this season, ahead of Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.
Isak has scored four league goals so far in 2026–27, already surpassing his tally of three from last season when injury limited his impact. Sheringham told Hajper that he believes the Sweden international is the best striker in the Premier League and praised his movement, positioning and finishing in the box.
“For me, he’s the best striker in the Premier League. He is phenomenal,” Sheringham said. “I’d like to see him win the Golden Boot this year, and not just to beat Erling Haaland but for the way that Isak plays the game, and how hungry he is for goals.”
Sheringham highlighted Isak’s improved sharpness under manager Andoni Iraola, noting his ability to be in the right place at decisive moments, and suggested his form should worry rivals this season.
