One of the major debates coming into any major international tournament is always; who will score the most goals?
The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is no different and there are plenty of extremely talented contenders to grab the Golden Boot.
Here are the players we think could make a genuine claim to be the top scorer at the 2022 World Cup this winter – ranked.
At 34 years old, this is almost certainly the last time we’ll see Robert Lewandowski at a major tournament. Poland aren’t destined to go far and they face both Mexico and Argentina in Group C.
With 14 goals already for Barcelona this season though, Lewandowski can never be totally ruled out of the picture.

Mane is the Senegalese talisman and given they have Ecuador and Qatar in their group, he has a chance to rack up a decent tally and get into the round of 16 at least.
In another world, Romelu Lukaku would be higher on this list but he has missed a big chunk of the season at Inter through injury.
He will return for the World Cup but is not in form. That being said, he often finds a new level with Belgium and he will be making up for lost time.

Lionel Scaloni likes him and even when he hasn’t been scoring for the Nerazzurri, he has been scoring for Argentina.
Karim Benzema is the name on everyone’s lips right now having recently been crowned the Ballon d’Or winner for his…
