Harry Kane heads to Qatar bidding to win the World Cup Golden Boot at back-to-back tournaments.
The England superstar hit six goals at Russia 2018 as the Three Lions roared to the semi-finals before falling short against Croatia.
NEW TO PADDY POWER NEWS?
He is the favourite in Paddy Power’s World Cup Golden Boot betting market and has the added motivation of needing just three strikes to break Wayne Rooney’s England goalscoring record.
If Kane fails to top the scoring sheets in Qatar then that means we’re likely to have a new name to add to the roll call of World Cup Golden Boot winners.
Former Real Madrid star James Rodriguez fired six goals for Colombia at the 2014 World Cup but the South American nation have failed to qualify for this year’s edition, while 2010 winner Thomas Muller has only scored three times in 15 club appearances this term.
Uncle Paddy is giving you the chance to bag free bets if you have a punt on our top goalscorer market.
All you have to do is back a player to be the World Cup 2022 Golden Boot winner to the tune of a tenner and you’ll land a £/€1 free bet every single time they register a Shot on Target.
You’ll also get a bonus £/€1 free bet for every goal scored to go with the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that your outright punt has taken a step towards landing.
