Piotr Zielinski is a technically gifted attacking midfielder who has been one of Napoli's best players in recent seasons. The Polish international is a joy to watch with the ball at his feet.

He can glide past opposition defenders thanks to his close control and incredible burst of pace. Zielinski is left-footed but he uses both feet to great effect. He is excellent at navigating tight spaces thanks to his ability to receive and move the ball deftly with both feet.

Zielinski is not only good at orchestrating play in the final third but he also scores very valuable goals. He scored a total of eight goals with his right foot in 2021.

#2 Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain) - 8 goals

Kylian Mbappe is widely viewed as heir apparent to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The Frenchman is only 23-years-old but he has been world-class for more than five years now. The French World Cup winner has already accomplished more than some top footballers have done over their entire careers.

Mbappe is one of the most exciting and entertaining players on the planet. His blistering pace and incredible dribbling ability make him one of the most elusive attackers on the planet. The Frenchman is also an excellent finisher and is one of the most prolific forwards in Europe.

Mbappe prefers using his right foot and scores the majority of his goals with it. But if the situation demands it, he would have no trouble shifting the ball to his left and going hell for leather. He scored a total of eight goals in Ligue 1 with his weaker left foot in 2021.

#1 Jonathan David (Lille) - 9 goals

Young Canadian striker Jonathan David is one of the most promising young strikers currently plying their trade in Europe. David has been phenomenal for Lille and the Canadian national team. He has already scored 16 goals in 27 appearances across all competitions for the reigning Ligue 1 champions.

The 21-year-old is ambipedal. He dribbles with his right foot but can produce exquisite finishes with both feet. David finishes so well with his left foot at times that you might even mistake him for being a left-footer.

But he takes his penalties with his right foot and it can get a little confusing at times when you witness how easy he makes scoring with his weaker foot look. He scored a total of nine goals with his weaker foot in 2021.
