The attacker is currently outshining Cristiano Ronaldo in the I Serie A this season. He's bagged 17 goals and five assists for Lazio in 16 appearances in the Italian top-flight so far, which puts him at the top of the goalscoring chart. Even Lionel Messi hasn't scored as much for Barcelona in LaLiga.
Immobile's brilliance isn't limited to the domestic level, as he is also enjoying a decent run in the Europa League. The Italian has two goals to his name in four appearances in the European tournament and he's well on course to hit even more as the season progresses.
