Dominic Solanke will fancy himself to be in the running having hit 19 goals last season for Bournemouth and now spearheading an attack-minded Tottenham side.
Darwin Nunez is the league’s enigma, at times looking unplayable and at others looking out of his depth. Can Slot coax more consistency from Liverpool’s Uruguay striker?
He is not a striker, but City midfielder Phil Foden was in the mix last term with an impressive tally of 19 goals as well as eight assists.
Joshua Zirkzee moved to Manchester United from Bologna after being part of the Netherlands’ Euro 2024 squad. He only scored 13 times in 53 appearances for Bologna but if United’s form improves, could he hit the ground running?
What about Christopher Nkunku at Chelsea? He had a superb record at RB Leipzig and if he avoids the injuries that plagued him last season, he could be a threat to Haaland.
Brentford forward Ivan Toney missed much of last season through suspension and could not find his best in front of goal after his return, notching four goals in 17 league matches.
Toney will hope to return to his best form this season while Crystal Palace fans will hope Jean-Philippe Mateta can continue his prolific end to the last campaign.
