There is going to be so much wonderful attacking talent on show at this summer's European Championship, with star power dotted around the whole tournament. Indeed, the leading scorers from all of Europe's top five leagues this past season are set to be involved, as is the Champions League Golden Boot winner in what will hopefully be a month packed with goals.
But just being a prolific goal-scorer won't be enough to be in contention for that individual accolade at Euro 2025. It also depends on the country that player represents, what their group stage looks like and whether they have the chance to go far in this tournament. Given how competitive some of the groups are going to be in Switzerland, the latter is quite hard to determine for some.
So, all things considered, who could be in the mix for the Golden Boot at Euro 2025? GOAL takes a look at the top 10 contenders…
Getty Images10Pernille Harder (Denmark)
Pernille Harder would be much higher on this list if there were not questions about how Denmark will perform at this summer's Euros. The Bayern Munich star is one of the very best players in the world and comes into this tournament off the back of a sublime campaign, with her individual brilliance regularly at the heart of the German giants' domestic treble. For her country, she is as important, wearing the captain's armband and so often instigating their best moments – plus, she takes penalties.
However, Denmark are, for starters, a team that tend to share the goals around, and they find themselves in a tricky group with eight-time winners Germany, a Poland side that will look to frustrate opponents and Sweden, who battered Denmark 6-1 in June. If Harder was to top the scoring charts at Euro 2025, it wouldn't be an earth-shattering surprise, but it will only occur if the Danes up their level and go far in the tournament.

With questions surrounding the fitness of Vivianne Miedema, Lineth Beerensteyn is a safer bet when it comes to looking at who will be the Netherlands' main source of goals at Euro 2025. The Wolfsburg winger comes into the tournament after a prolific campaign in Germany, netting a league-leading 17 times in 20 Bundesliga appearances, and she netted three goals in her first four games for her country this year, too.
There are a couple of caveats, though. One is that while Beerensteyn is so good at getting into goal-scoring positions, her clinical touch can sometimes go missing. That was the case at times in the Netherlands' run to the quarter-finals of the 2023 Women's World Cup, with the 28-year-old guilty of missing some big chances that could've knocked Spain out in the last eight.
The other big factor here is the fortunes of the Dutch in general. Andries Jonker's side are in a tough group with France, England and Wales and will need to get out of that for Beerensteyn to be a Golden Boot contender.
Getty Images8Stina Blackstenius (Sweden)
Though she may play second fiddle to Alessia Russo at Arsenal, Stina Blackstenius is the starting centre-forward for Sweden. Peter Gerhardsson's team can be streaky, as the contrast between two low-scoring draws with Wales and a 6-1 battering of Denmark in this year's Nations League shows. Similar can be said of Blackstenius, who is unpredictable in front of goal. However, she can also turn up in the very biggest moments – see her match-winner in this year's Champions League final.
Unless Denmark really up their game, Sweden will be the favourites to progress from Group C with Germany, and they have the experience to go far in Switzerland. Do that, and Blackstenius could well be in the mix for the Golden Boot.
Getty Images7Guro Reiten (Norway)
Since reaching the final of Euro 2013, Norway have been seriously underwhelming at major tournaments despite boasting a ton of elite talent in their squad, such as a Ballon d'Or winner in Ada Hegerberg and a runner-up for that award in Caroline Graham Hansen. This year, though, should be different.
Gemma Grainger's side are in, quite frankly, the easiest group at the tournament. Hosts Switzerland have never made the knockout stages of the Euros; Iceland have once, in 2013, when they won one group-stage match – and that is their only ever victory in four appearances at the tournament; while Finland haven't progressed to the knockouts since their home tournament in 2009. Norway, then, are big favourites to top this group and, with their world-class attacking quality, they should score a few goals along the way.
It's unclear who will be the starting No.9, between Hegerberg and Elisabeth Terland, so it's hard to bank on either of them for a Golden Boot charge. Graham Hansen and Frida Maanum, the Arsenal midfielder, will likely chip in with a goal or two, but Guro Reiten is one who could be a dark horse for that top-scorer accolade. The Chelsea winger is fully fit again after some recent struggles and is a regular source of goals when she gets going. She will also take Norway's penalties.
