William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said: “It’s not often you see three global superstars sitting dead level at the top of a World Cup goalscorer market, but that’s exactly where we are now with Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi all priced at 10/3.
“Messi’s surge from 22/1 has been one of the standout moves of the tournament so far, Mbappe has been strong in the betting throughout, and Kane has come from 9/1 to force his way into co-favouritism, so from our side, it now feels like a genuine three-way shootout for the Golden Boot.”
