Top Scorers in European Football
As is customary on Fichajes.com, we start the week with the ranking of the best goal scorers in the sport in the Old Continent. Currently, Ciro Immobile is the top scorer in Europe, leading Lazio in this statistical aspect and having an outstanding season in Serie A. Despite the early elimination in the Europa League, the main objective for Simone Inzaghi's troops will be to qualify for the 2020-2021 Champions League.
Next up is the great hope of the German national team's offensive line, Timo Werner (RB Leipzig), who has been linked with Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Real Madrid. Tied with Werner and completing the podium is Robert Lewandowski, who has slightly reduced his scoring average at Bayern Munich, although it is true that maintaining the goal-scoring rhythm he had at the start of the season was practically impossible. And what can we say about Jamie Vardy, who, despite the unexpected defeat in the last round of the Premier League, continues to be a true reference in the ranks of Leicester City.
We cannot overlook the magnificent season that Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus) is having, considered by the majority of experts as the greatest goal scorer of all time. Nor should we forget Junior Moraes' campaign at Shakhtar Donetsk, in addition to the presence in this prestigious list of Sergio Aguero (Manchester City), Alexander Sorloth (Trabzonspor), Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona), and a striker that Seville supporters miss at Nervion: Wissam Ben Yedder (AS Monaco).
