While Ciro Immobile may have not succeeded outside of Italy, his impact in his homeland has been considerable.

After failed stints with Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla, the 30-year old has found his feet at Lazio. One of the most prolific strikers in Europe right now, Immobile won the European Golden Shoe as well as the Capocannoniere last season, after scoring an astounding 36 goals in 37 league games.

The Italy international has scored 106 goals in 147 league games for Lazio since his debut in 2016, and has signed a new five-year contract this year.


#2 ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI - BAYERN MUNICH, 26 goals

One of the best strikers of the modern generation and one of the best players in world football right now, Robert Lewandowski is Bayern Munich's talisman and superstar.

The Poland international, often regarded by many as the best free transfer in the history of football, joined Bayern Munich from Borussia Dortmund in 2014. Since then, he has been a pivotal figure, making 196 league appearances and scoring 173 goals.

Bayern Munich won the treble last season, and Lewandowski was arguably the best player in the world. In 47 appearances across all competitions, the 32-year old scored 55 goals, and in an ideal world should have been awarded the Ballon d'Or for his performances.


#1 CRISTIANO RONALDO - JUVENTUS, 27 goals

Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo takes the first place in this list as the player to have scored the most goals in the top European leagues this calendar year.

Having joined Juventus from Real Madrid for a club-record fee of £105 million in 2018, Ronaldo immediately took over the role of Juventus' talisman. The 35-year old has been in fine form since making his debut for the club, scoring consistently and forming a good understanding with Paulo Dybala.

Last season, the former Manchester United man scored 31 goals in 33 league appearances. He has been in fine form this season as well, despite missing three weeks of football due to the coronavirus; he has scored six goals in four games.
