Mauro Icardi often got overshadowed by the brilliance of Lionel Messi, Paulo Dybala, and Sergio Aguero, nevertheless, he is a top player and is scoring goals for fun in the Serie A for quite a time now.

The Argentine joined Inter Milan from Sampordia in 2013 and scored 103 goals in 165 games for the Nerazzurri. He won the Serie A Golden Boot for the 2014-2015 and 2017-2018 seasons and was also the part of Serie A Team of the Season 2014-2015.

The 25-year-old is a true penalty box poacher who is lethal in front of the goal. He might not be the quickest of the strikers but he uses his strength brilliantly to bully the defenders. Icardi is an accomplished set-piece taker and does not shy away from taking responsibility during the crucial stages.

Icardi was at Barcelona's academy for three years but he failed to break into the senior team and eventually moved to Sampordia to continue his progress.
