#3 Cedric Bakambu, Villarreal

Girona v Villarreal - La Liga
Bakambu in action against Villareal

Born in France, the man from Congo moved to the Spanish side Villarreal during the summer of 2015 from the Turkey side Bursaspor on a 5-year deal.

He played 10 times for Villarreal this season, scoring 8 times in the process which includes a hat-trick against Eibar at home. Only Lionel Messi and Simone Zaza have scored more goals than Bakambu. He took Villarreal to the 5th place in the current La Liga standings only behind Barca, Real, Valencia, and Atletico.

He is quick with his feet and has the ability to beat defenders at will. He is a difficult player for defenders to mark and he scores every 104 minutes in La Liga, which is very impressive for any striker. With Villarreal doing well in the league, Bakambu will score a lot of goals this season.
