Despite being among the favourites, the bookmakers' most likely exit point for England is the semi-finals, which reflects the tournament's depth more than doubts about the squad.

This section will show readers the latest England World Cup odds for the Three Lions’ top goalscorer at the tournament.

Harry Kane is the headline name in the England squad and a real contender to win the Golden Boot, but the depth of attacking options in this squad gives England flexibility.

It’s hard to look past Kane being the top scorer for the Three Lions this summer, though the likes of Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford could theoretically challenge the England captain.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has now confirmed his 26-man squad for this summer’s World Cup, with notable names including Cole Palmer, Phil Foden and Harry Maguire missing out.

Tuchel will likely use a 4-2-3-1 formation this summer, with Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson anchoring midfield and Harry Kane leading the attack.

Some positions, such as left wing and centre-back, remains up for grabs in the starting XI, with the likes of Marcus Rashford, John Stones and Eberechi Eze hoping to start against Croatia in Dallas on 17 June.

England head to North America with one of the most talented squads at the World Cup, as well as one of the most accomplished managers at the tournament in Tuchel.

Their status as third-favourites is deserved after the Three Lions made the final of Euro 2024, and the main competition looks like it’ll come from Spain and France.

European champions Spain are still in superb form as they approach the World Cup, while France are looking to make it to a third consecutive World Cup final – and with the depth in their squad, you wouldn’t bet against them doing so.

In terms of value from a betting perspective, England to reach the semi-final could offer value at around 7/4, with further value of 10/3 on the Three Lions to reach a first final since 1966.

The World Cup is a seismic betting events and as a result, bookmakers tend to get creative with their sign up offers ahead of such a big tournament.

BetVictor have gone even bigger by offering new customers a World Cup price boost of 100/1 on England to lift the trophy.

As the tournament approaches, expect to see more of these offers pop up.
