#5 Ciro Immobile - Lazio - 16 points

The Italian striker has had a storming start to the season, scoring 8 goals in just 6 games so far this season, playing all 540 minutes of Lazio's league season so far, which has led the Biancocelesti to 4th place in the table.

Immobile's best performance of the season came in the high-profile clash against AC Milan, with the forward running riot and scoring 3 goals past the likes of Leonardo Bonucci et al. In addition to his goal-scoring feats, Immobile has assisted 3 goals in Serie A this season.

The Italian league has a factor of 2.0, and if the Lazio striker keeps his goal scoring form up, he could very well be a dark horse for the European Golden Shoe this season. The 27-year-old had his best-ever goal-scoring season last year with 26 goals, so perhaps he is beginning to bloom late in his career.
