Euro 2024 Golden Boot odds: The main contenders to watch

Cody Gakpo, Harry Kane, Dani Olmo and Georges Mikautadze.

The tournament is almost over. So's the Euro 2024 Golden Boot odds, with the race between the top scorers reaching a tight conclusion.

The favourites are mostly firing, as the top scorer list has taken shape – though no one scored more than a single goal in the opening set of Euro 2024 fixtures. That's all changed now, with a handful of stars on three goals.

Due to a recent rule change from UEFA, those six players will all share the award if they're not separated by the end of Euro 2024 – but there's still time to place your bets for someone to win the trophy outright.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the last recipient of the Golden Boot at Euro 2020 and the 39-year-old was again one of the favourites. However, despite many chances, he failed to score a single goal at the tournament: so did Romelu Lukaku, who had three goals ruled out by VAR, while Kylian Mbappe only scored once. 

FourFourTwo looks at the remaining candidates who could take him the coveted Golden Boots. Odds are courtesy of William Hill and correct as of Sunday 14 July.

VIDEO Why England FINALLY Came Good Against The Netherlands

Euro 2024 Golden Boot odds: 1. Harry Kane (England)

Odds: 9/4

King Kane netted once in the group stage, struck the winner against Slovakia and then buried a penalty in the semi-final against the Netherlands. Despite being one of the most disappointing stars of Euro 2024, he's potentially a goal away from the Golden Boot.

Kane is the favourite for the award now, owing perhaps to the fact that he's the designated penalty taker for England and more likely to score than Dani Olmo, who's Spain's representative in the final with three goals. Remember, scoring in the shootout doesn't count, however much Gary Lineker is campaigning for it to.

In our opinion, this one isn't worth betting on at this stage. Kane may well score but the odds aren't particularly enticing. Sorry, H!

2. Dani Olmo (Spain)

Odds: 5/2

At 5/2, Olmo is slightly less likely to score than Kane. Or at least, he's less likely to equal Kane's goal tally tonight.

The Spaniard is one of Spain's dangermen. His runs into the box past Alvaro Morata are arguably going to trouble the likes of Stones and Guehi far more than the centre-forward himself, so he's not a bad bet to score at any time. 

As with Kane though, not good enough odds to part with your money. 

3. Cody Gakpo (Netherlands), Ivan Schranz (Slovakia), Jamal Musiala (Germany), Georges Mikautadze (Georgia)

Odds: 12/1

Four players out of the competition sit on three goals. That means none of them can win the Golden Boot outright. 

William Hill do not stipulate whether their odds are for the top scorer of the tournament outright – but given that it's 12/1, we will go out there on a limb and suggest that those are steep odds for Kane and Olmo not to score tonight. Avoid this bet, as you might not see your money back on a technicality. 

4. Jude Bellingham (England), Fabian Ruiz (Spain)

Odds: 20/1

Now we get to the interesting odds. Fabian and Bellingham – both on two goals – are 20/1 to win the Golden Boot, meaning one of two things.

Either they're 20/1 to score tonight, and for Kane and Olmo not to score, or they're 20/1 to score a brace. Bellingham himself is 33/1 to score a brace tonight alone – and that seems like a more sensible bet to put on. 

5. Lamine Yamal (Spain), Alvaro Morata (Spain), Bukayo Saka (England), Nico Williams (Spain)

Odds: 33-1

It remains incredibly unlikely, but the Golden Boot could yet go to someone else. Lamine Yamal, Alvaro Morata, Bukayo Saka and Nico Williams all have a goal each at the Euros. 

Same as above. Four players have a goal each. If you back any of them to score a brace and share the award, you can probably find better odds: you definitely can to win it outright.
