After a hectic transfer window, the new football season has come with a bang and clubs are wasting no time in showing us what they've got. So far, eight games have already been played in the Premier League and La Liga, seven in the Bundesliga and Serie A while nine have been played in Ligue 1.

With a lot of excitement and intensity, the campaign has kicked-off on a promising note across Europe's top five divisions and in the UEFA Champions League. While clubs continue to lock horns with one another in their quest for glory, an intense competition is also taking place among the attackers to be the best.

As we know, the battle to finish on the top scorers' chart is one thing that's on the mind of every attacker. As a result, these players have been showing us their credentials since the term began. While some household names, such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are yet to reach their normal standards, Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski has already hit double figures, with a host of other superstars coming behind him closely.

Without further ado, let's quickly take a look at five attackers who have begun the new season on a brilliant note in front of goal across all competitions:
