The 2026 World Cup is well underway and so is the race for the prestigious Golden Boot - the award given to the tournament's top scorer. There's a long and winding road to be navigated as 48 nations battle for the top prize, but which star will take home the illustrious award? Here, GOAL tracks the tournament's most prolific stars.

Anthony Gordon has heaped immense praise on England team-mate Harry Kane, claiming the striker is currently operating at a level comparable to Lionel Messi. Gordon's comments follow Kane's dramatic late brace that rescued England from a shock World Cup exit against DR Congo, highlighting his consistency and elite mindset on the biggest international stage.

Kyle Walker has responded to Wayne Rooney's suggestion that the former England full-back should have been considered to play at the 2026 World Cup. The Manchester City icon was flattered by his old team-mate's remarks, but firmly stands by his decision to step aside and let the younger generation play.

Thierry Henry has warned England that they are playing a dangerous game by relying so heavily on the individual brilliance of Harry Kane. The Arsenal and France legend believes the Three Lions will face a reckoning if the Thomas Tuchel's side concede first in their upcoming World Cup last-16 clash against Mexico.
