The Denmark international, set to represent his country at Euro 2024, came off the bench to net in the final two Premier League matches to pip skipper Bruno Fernandes to the accolade by a single goal.
He is the third-youngest Red to be the leading marksman since 1992, behind only Wayne Rooney (2004/05) and Anthony Martial (2015/16).
With the promise of so much more to come from the 21-year-old, Hojlund can definitely feel satisfied with his maiden campaign in England, following last summer's move from Atalanta.
