Make sure there is zero plagiarism.: The array of players with an eye for goal at the AFC Asian Cup 2023 are likely to have to be at their prolific best to land the tournament Golden Boot. Qatar’s Almoez Ali was the runaway winner at the previous edition in 2019, netting nine of the 130 goals at the finals to finish five ahead of any player. The striker has rattled in the goals at an impressive rate for Qatar Stars League side Al-Duhail since 2016 and has home advantage at the finals, but the likes of South Korea talisman Son Heung-min and Iran’s Mehdi Taremi, who helped his country reach the semifinals in 2019, are expected to challenge Ali. The Sporting News will update the top scorers’ table below, with assists and minutes played serving as the first and second tiebreakers.

A three-goal total has been enough to top-score on four occasions, with two enough at one tournament, in 1964. That is unlikely to be repeated because the tournament involved a single stage between 1956 and 1968; the number of games players can participate in and potentially advance to has increased across the history of the cup, with teams guaranteed three matches in the current format and taking part in up to four more during the knockout phase.
