5 breakout players this season from each of Europe's top 5 leagues

#4 Italy Serie A

Breakout star - Krzysztof Piątek (Genoa)

Krzysztof Piątek

He's perhaps the biggest revelation of the season in all of Europe. Piatek is a 23-year-old Polish international who had spent all of his previous professional career in Poland.

After scoring 21 goals during the 2017-18 Ekstraklasa in Poland which saw him finish as the third highest goalscorer in the Polish top division, Genoa paid €4 million for his services at the start of June.

Owing to his relatively obscure past, not much was expected from Piatek on his arrival in Serie A, but he has absolutely shocked everyone with his performances thus far, and currently sits top of the Serie A scorers chart, higher than established superstars such as Mauro Icardi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Eden Dzeko, and Ciro Immobile.

Earlier this season, he became the first man since the legendary Gabriel Batistuta to score in each of his first 7 Serie A matches, and he is surely looking like a bargain for the price he was bought.

The 23-year-old has scored 13 goals in 18 Serie A matches, while also scoring an incredible 6 goals from just 2 Coppa Italia fixtures, in displays which were largely unexpected at the start of the season.

Piatek has scored almost half of Genoa's goals in Serie A this season, and if he is to keep up with this form, you can expect one of Europe's bigger teams to start making inquiries over his services soon enough.
