One of the most impressive attackers in the Italian Serie A for the past couple of years, Roma striker Edin Dzeko has also emerged as one of the hottest candidates for the Champions League Golden Shoe this season - thanks to his incredible efforts in front of goal.

The attacker finished the previous Champions League campaign with an amazing 8 goals in 12 appearances to lead the Serie A side to the semifinals of the tournament after several years and he has also entered into the competition in an explosive form this season.

Dzeko has sent the ball into the back of the net a whopping 5 times in just 4 appearances in the European tournament this term and he will be looking forward to challenging Lionel Messi and other elite attackers for the prestigious Champions League Golden Shoe, come the end of the campaign.
