Cristhian Stuani has already attained the status of a demi-god at Girona following his impressive consistency in front of goal. The Uruguayan has continued his fine form for the Gironistes with 12 goals from 18 games.

He netted 21 goals in 33 league games in his debut season at the club last year, fresh from a mixed two-year spell at Middlesborough.

Stuani has an xG value of 7.88 - a number he exceeds by 4.12 points. Simply put, he has scored four more goals than the eight that were actually expected of him.

The 32-year-old deserves a standing ovation for his impact that actually led to him being considered by Barcelona as a transfer target in January.

His marvellous displays certainly mean he will be a sought after player in the upcoming summer.
