Top 5 centre forwards in Europe at the moment (2018-19)
All the hard work and efforts players put on the pitch is down to one aim - scoring a goal. If your striker cannot get you the lead, you lose. Striking is probably one of the most vital and recognised positions in the history of football.
There have been plenty of world-class strikers all across the globe, but only a few have made it to the very top. Currently, the likes of Suarez and Lewandowski are known to be the best strikers in the world, but the list keeps on fluctuating, with new names coming up pretty frequently.
Consistency plays a key part in this position - if one plays well consistently, he gets recognised to the utmost level, but when he doesn't, he is hated and booed by the fans till the time he doesn't get his form back.
Well, this season, the fight for the 'best striker in the world' has been tough and pretty interesting, considering the hot form players have been in, with new names coming up as well. Without further ado, lets get straight into it.
#5 Christian Stuani (Girona)
The 32-year-old striker, Christian Stuani, has been on some incredible form this season, scoring 11 goals in just 13 LaLiga appearances. He has been one of the most consistent strikers in the Spanish league this season, scoring a goal after every 93 minutes.
Stuani was an Espanyol player back in 2014, where he bagged 12 goals in 37 appearances before moving to Middlesbrough. He spent a year playing in the Premier League, bagging just 4 goals in 23 appearances, and therefore, he was sent to Girona last season.
Christian took time to settle in Girona, scoring 21 goals in 33 matches last term, which is still a great stat. At the age of 31, it seems like he is finally able to unleash his true self.
The Uruguayan international is just 1 goal behind Leo Messi this season, and we just cannot sleep on him.
