5 strikers that have been lethal this season
Few people might have expected some of the outcomes we have seen this season. Ranging from Real Madrid's unexpected downturn and Manchester City's domination of the EPL to an exhilarating Serie A campaign, the 2017-18 season promises to get even more exciting with each passing day.
The story of football's strikers is entirely different from what it was last year. With the likes of Luis Suarez and Diego Costa not what they were last season and Cristiano Ronaldo's fall from grace, some other strikers are now in the spotlight and delivering the goods.
Let's have a look at five of these lethal frontmen currently active in the game.
#5 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
If you ever want to learn about being consistent in football, Robert Lewandowski is one of the giants you shouldn't forget to study about.
As for Borussia Dortmund, they will be holding more than just regret in their hearts, letting the deadly striker leave for nothing.
After netting 43 times in 47 games in all contests last season, Lewandowski has continued doing what he always does best - grabbing a surfeit of goals.
The striker already has 17 goals in his basket from 19 matches in the Bundesliga and Champions League this season. Currently, he is the league's top-scorer with 14 goals to his credit.
What is more appreciable is the fact that the Pole has performed equally well for his nation, as he has done for the Bavarians. On the international stage, he finished as the top scorer in FIFA World Cup 2018 qualifications with 16 goals.
With Real Madrid reportedly seeing the 29-year-old as a solution for their woes, it will be crucial for Munich to hold on to their star if they desire to lift the Champions League trophy. As for Los Blancos, he certainly won't come easy or cheap in January.
