Harry Kane and Deniz Undav eye 2026 World Cup Golden Boot

The FIFA World Cup Golden Boot honors the tournament’s top scorer. Previous editions were claimed by Bundesliga legends Gerd Müller, Miroslav Klose and Thomas Müller. Harry Kane and Deniz Undav are among the forwards tipped to chase the award in 2026.

All three former winners played their club football in Germany’s top division. The record links the German league with World Cup scoring excellence. The accolade highlights the Bundesliga’s historical impact on global tournaments.

Beyond Kane and Undav, any striker active in the Bundesliga could challenge for the trophy. The competition will test whether a Germany-based forward can match the achievements of Müller, Klose and Müller.

The next edition of the World Cup will determine the new Golden Boot holder. The prize will again spotlight the Bundesliga’s contribution to global scoring.
