The Premier League’s latest striker arrivals are capturing attention. This hasn’t just been for their talent, but also for their odds on topping the goalscoring charts. Among the new signings, Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko, Hugo Ekitike, and Joao Pedro are drawing interest.
The Golden Boot race this season promises to be unpredictable. Especially with these forwards joining elite rosters looking to make an immediate impact. Bookmakers have already released their initial total goalscorers odds. There’s hints at who might emerge as the league’s most prolific newcomer.

The new Manchester United striker, Benjamin Sesko is arriving from RB Leipzig with considerable hype. However, he sits at the bottom among the four hopefuls at +2500. He came with a €75 million price tag which signals belief in his long-term potential. However, Sesko is unproven in the Premier League context. The step-up in competitive intensity and the challenge of adapting to United’s system likely temper bettors’ expectations despite his Bundesliga promise.

Hugo Ekitike has joined Liverpool for around €80 million. He is arriving at Anfield following an impressive 15-goal season in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt. His blend of pace, power, and adaptability have earned him the description of a ‘perfect modern player’. However, integrating into Liverpool’s elite setup could take time. Hence, while he is a realistic contender, his odds at +2000 reflect both optimism and caution.

BetMGM Odds at +1600
Chelsea’s new forward Joao Pedro is placed second-best among the four with +1600 odds. Although less widely discussed than some peers, his signing is regarded as shrewd and potentially impactful. His relative under-the-radar status might be masking genuine scoring capabilities. Thus, pushing bookmakers to see him as a value bet – tougher to predict, but not to be underestimated.
Leading the quartet is Arsenal’s latest striker, Viktor Gyokeres. He has the shortest odds at +650. He arrives after a dominant spell at Sporting CP where he scored 68 goals in 66 appearances. He also earned consecutive league top scorer titles plus Player of the Year honors. His consistent finishing, physicality, and creative ingenuity make him bookmakers’ favourite among the newcomers to lead the Premier League scoring charts.
