Mauro Icardi was roped in by Inter Milan ahead of the 2013-14 season following Sampdoria's promotion to Serie A. It was a season where Icardi ended up as a key player for his then club.

The Argentine went on to spend six seasons with Inter Milan before switching to the French capital. He shared the 2017-18 Capocannoniere with Lazio's Ciro Immobile.


#2 Gonzalo Higuaín - 125 (Napoli/Juventus/AC Milan)

It is a known fact that goals followed wherever Higuaín went. The current MLS star arrived in Italy after a mouth-watering stint with European giants Real Madrid. Him losing the spot to Karim Benzema despite delivering as per the expectations left everyone amazed.

Nevertheless, Gonzalo Higuaín brought the same form to Serie A. After joining the Naples outfit, Higuaín's graph kept rising. A sensational 2015-16 season where the Argentine player found the net for a total of 36 off 35 games landed him a dream offer from Juve.

He won three Scudettos with the Old Lady. Following heavy competition for the attackers' role at Turin, Gonzalo Higuaín accepted an offer from Inter Miami.

Despite having departed for the MLS, Gonzalo Higuaín, till date, remains one of the best Serie A players of the past decade.


#1 Ciro Immobile -155 (Genoa/Torino/Lazio)

Thankfully for Serie A fans, the top spot is occupied by their homeboy. Ciro Immobile (the only Italian on the list) grabs the top most position on the podium.

The current EURO 2020 champ has also won Capocannonieri (2018 & 2020) with Lazio. His second came after a season-long fierce battle with the best-ever Cristiano Ronaldo. The Azzuri striker finished the season with 36 goals (5 ahead of his competitor).

Ciruzzo, nicknamed by his admirers, is also Lazio's all-time top goal-getter across all competitions. The 31-year-old is just 20 goals shy of club legend Silvio Piola in becoming Lazio's all-time top scorer in the domestic league (Serie A).
