Dimitar Berbatov has dismissed Mohamed Salah's hopes of retaining the Golden Boot.

The former Manchester United star and Premier League top scorer in 2010/11 has instead tipped Harry Kane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Romelu Lukaku to battle it out.

The Bulgarian bizarrely omitted the Reds hero, despite his prolific season, while he also offered up his top four predictions, as reported by football.london.

He does tip Jurgen Klopp's side to finish inside the top four with one of his former club's Spurs also making it, in second he believes. That means Arsenal and Chelsea will miss out again.

"I think the top Premier League goal scorer will be Harry Kane," Berbatov told BetFair . "It's a tough call, there's also Aubameyang because he had a solid first season in the league and will want to build that in his second season with a new coach.

"There's Romelu Lukaku who performed well at the World Cup.

"Out of those three, I would have to say Kane. He had a tremendous World Cup campaign, will have even more confidence in himself and these aspects helps a striker.

"Harry Kane should be aiming for 30 or more goals again. You don't want to relax after having a season like that, you should be aiming to improve, and I bet he's thinking the same thing.

"His confidence will be booming with his achievements over the summer and coming off that he'll have the knowledge on how to break down the teams with solid defences.

"He should be aiming for the Golden Boot but even if he doesn't get there and scores 20 goals, that's still a lot."

Last season Salah scored 32 goals to set a new record for a 38-game Premier League season.
