5 best players in Europe's Top 5 leagues this season

#4 Serie A - Ciro Immobile (Lazio)

Prolific Immobile

The first player in Europe's top 5 leagues to hit 20 goals this season, Ciro Immobile has been tearing it up in Italy for the second consecutive season. Immobile's career has so far been a mix of rainbows and fire and brimstone.

A traveller who has had prolific campaigns at Olimpico, Torino and Pescara has also had utterly abysmal and pedestrian seasons at Genoa, Dortmund and Sevilla. What's worse? He's been as sinusoidal as they come.

Immobile would have a great season and then when the world expects him to come knocking for the tall prizes, he starts to look like someone who showed up to the field as an afterthought.

And finally, for the first time in his career, Ciro has been able to replicate his fine form from the previous season. In fact, 'replicate' would be an understatement as he has gone one better than last year.

Immobile scored 23 goals from 36 appearances in Serie A last season. This season, he already has 20 goals to his name from as many appearances. And if that isn't enough, the Italian has assisted 7 goals. A direct involvement in 27 goals from 20 appearances is a truly world-class accomplishment.

Ciro has also created 26 chances for his team in the league and has a Whoscored average rating of 7.58. He hit 3 past Milan and kicked on from there and scored 4 against SPAL. Well, we now know where a lot of the Serie A match balls are ending up at.
