#3 Luka Jovic and Krzysztof Piatek

Lethal in front of goal. Left foot, right foot, head, any way you like, this man will score. Piatek is a real goalscoring threat.

They are two of the biggest goalscorers this season and surprisingly both have led the goalscoring charts in their respective leagues. Starting with Piatek, while playing for Genoa in 19 league games, he scored 13 goals. He is still ahead of Icardi, Mertens, Immobile, and Mandzukic in terms of scoring. He is only two goals behind Ronaldo and while at Genoa had lesser minutes per goal than him. (121mins/goal for CR7, 124 for Piatek after his Milan debut)

Luka Jovic, not far away from Italy, in Germany, has set the Bundesliga on fire. He is the top-scorer currently in Germany, outscoring the likes of Robben, Mario Gomez, Lewandowski etc. The 21-year-old has got 13 goals and 3 assists in 17 games for Eintracht Frankfurt. Now if at such a young age they are outscoring proven goalscorers, then just imagine when they are at their peak.

The top scorer in Bundesliga ahead of Robert Lewandowski. Luka Jovic has surprised quite a number of people taking the league by storm.

Jovic is a goal-machine who looks for direct passages to the goal without any fuss. He is gifted with dribbling ability and pace to help him do the same. Without possession, he stays positioned to receive the ball and finish with one touch, away from the ball where the defenders pay attention.

Piatek, without assists, might be seen as a poacher while he isn't. He does drop down to attacking midfield to receive passes and create space for his teammates. He is a proven finisher with boot feet and head. Being tall and sturdy, he takes complete advantage of his heading ability to get ahead of defenders.

Two great goalscorers, two great young talents, maybe just maybe, one epic goalscoring fest for a decade or more.
