Andre Silva joined AC Milan in the summer of 2017, but the attacker had a forgettable campaign with the Italian giants last term, bagging just 2 goals in 24 Serie A appearances for the Rossoneri before eventually completing a loan move to Sevilla this summer.

In LaLiga, the attacker has buried memories of his mediocre outing in the Italian top flight, entering into the new season in amazing form and producing a couple of extraordinary performances that have earned him praises from his idol and compatriot - Cristiano Ronaldo.

The attacker is currently sitting on top of the LaLiga goalscorers' chart, outscoring the likes of Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Gareth Bale, and Luis Suarez with a whopping 7 goals to his name in 8 appearances as well as helping the Andalusian outfit reach the top of the table.

Spanish International, Paco Alcacer has been in electrifying form ever since he left Catalan giants FC Barcelona to join Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in a loan arrangement during the summer transfer window.

The former Valencia striker started dominating the headlines immediately he stepped unto the pitch to represent his new club, coming off the bench to bag an incredible goal, and inspired BVB to claim an important victory in his debut game against Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Spaniard has gone further to build upon his brilliant start in the German top flight, and he now has 6 goals to his name in 3 Bundesliga appearances, as well as another one in the UEFA Champions League.

It becomes even more impressive to learn that the attacker is yet to play a complete 90 minutes for the club in the German top flight, and he has only spent 81 minutes on the pitch to bag such an unbelievable number of goals. What a performance!

Hazard has moved past the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to establish himself as the most impressive finisher in the English top flight at the moment, and sits on top the scorers' chart.

The Belgian playmaker has recorded an incredible 7 goals and 3 assists to his name in just 8 Premier League appearances this term, and he is well poised to take his tally further and reach new milestones as the season progresses.
