‘Six’ of EPL’s top 10 scorers are England + Kane + Bellingham, ‘the golden age of true attacking players’
England have never had such a strong attacking lineup, with some calling it ‘the strongest ever’. As a result, expectations are high for them to win Euro 2024.
Six of the top 10 scorers in the English Premier League (EPL) this season are from the England national team. Chelsea’s Cole Palmer exploded for four goals in the 33rd round against Everton to take his tally to 20 goals, tied with Manchester City’s Elling Holland for the top spot.
He is followed by Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) with 19 goals, Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth) with 17, Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) with 15, Xherdan Shaqiri (Arsenal) with 14, and Phil Foden (Manchester City) with 14, making six England internationals in the top 10 EPL scorers.
England’s firepower doesn’t end there. Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane is the German Bundesliga’s leading scorer with 32 goals. It’s a new record for most goals in a debut season in the Bundesliga. In the Spanish Primera Liga (La Liga), Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham is second in the league with 16 goals. Until recently, Bellingham was leading the league in goals. This is why Real Madrid has the Bellingham Syndrome.
Which one of these players should he pick? That”s the happy dilemma of England manager Gareth Southgate.
“It’s a true golden age for the England attack,” says the Daily Mail. Six of the top 10 scorers in the EPL are English. This has never been the case in the history of the England national team before a major tournament. And that doesn”t even include Kane and Bellingham. How can Southgate fit them all into the Euro squad,” the report said.
“Palmer has scored 20 goals. There’s Watkins, Solanke, Bowen, Xhaka and Foden. Add to that Kane’s 32 goals in the Bundesliga and Bellingham’s 16 in La Liga. Then 카지노 there’s Ivan Toney, who scored 20 goals before being suspended for illegal betting. That’s a lot of firepower.”
“Add to that the likes of Jack Grealish, James Maddison, Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling and Anthony Gordon, and England have a wealth of attacking options.”
The outlet added: “With so many attacking options, Southgate has to choose 23 players for Euro 2024. It’s a challenge. Someone is bound to be left out. With so many options, Southgate will be looking to make the most of the golden age of the England attack.”
