The fast-approaching UEFA European Football Championship, which most people refer to as Euro 2024, is set to get underway on June 14 at 8 pm when host nation Germany takes on Scotland in Group A at the Allianz Arena.

England are the current odds-on favourites to win their first-ever Euro tournament, and Harry Kane will almost certainly be selected in the England squad when it is officially announced on May 21.

The question is whether Harry Kane will be the top goalscorer at Euro 2024. Let's dive in to find out.

How likely is it that Harry Kane will score more goals than any other player at Euro 2024?

The quickest, easiest, and most reliable way to find out if England's Harry Kane will be the tournament's top goalscorer is to look at the latest football odds for this particular market on today's most trusted online sportsbooks.

To save you some time, here are some of the latest average odds for the Euro 2024 top goalscorer market for the three odds-on favourites:

Market: Euro 2024 outright top goalscorer. Player: Kylian Mbappe. Decimal odds: 6.00. Fractional odds: 5/1. American/moneyline odds: +500. Implied probability rate (IPR): 16.70%
Market: Euro 2024 outright top goalscorer. Player: Harry Kane. Decimal odds: 6.50. Fractional odds: 11/2. American/moneyline odds: +550. IPR: 15.40%
Market: Euro 2024 outright top goalscorer. Player: Cristiano Ronaldo. Decimal odds: 13.00. Fractional odds: 12/1. American/moneyline odds: +1200. IPR: 7.70%

In other words, Harry Kane is NOT the favourite to score the most goals. He's the second odds-on favourite behind Kylian Mbappe.

How has Harry Kane's season been so far?

In 2023, England forward Harry Kane made a shock move from English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur to join Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga. His mouth-watering €110 million transfer fee was the largest in Bundesliga history.

He signed a four-year contract and has made an incredible impact in his first season alone, although it wasn't enough to see Bayern Munich win the league. They finished in second place behind winners Bayer Leverkusen.

Since joining the Bundesliga, Harry Kane has set many new personal records and broke various other Bundesliga records that have stood for decades. He scored on his debut.

He scored his 300th career goal back in September and his first goal in the UEFA Champions League for Bayern Munich in the same month.

Just days after scoring in the Champions League, he scored his first Bundesliga hat-trick (3 goals), which was also his first hat-trick in domestic league football since 2017.

His incredible start to new life in the Bundesliga didn't end there. In late October, he netted another trio of goals in their 8-0 demolition of Darmstadt 98, one of which was scored from inside his own half.

He scored 15 goals in his first ten games, breaking several records and equalling Gerd Müller's goal-scoring record that was set in the 1968/69 season. He also surpassed Jadon Sancho and Kevin Kegan to become the highest-scoring English player ever to play in the Bundesliga.

Final thoughts

Harry Kane is undeniably in top form and will be looking to lead England to glory at the Euro 2024 football competition, which gets underway on June 14.

England are the current odds-on favourites to win the tournament outright, and with Harry Kane's goal-scoring ability, they could very well be this year's winners. We will just have to wait and see.
