# 3: Gunnar Nordahl (250 goals)
Gunnar Nordahl scored 225 Serie A goals for Milan and Napoli between 1948-49 to 1958-59, with the bulk of his goals (210) coming for Milan.
Widely regarded as one of the best Swedish players and one of the best strikers in the world, Nordahl's 225 goals came in just 291 Serie A appearances, giving him the best 'goals per game' ratio of 0.77 among the top ten Serie A goal scorers.
Nicknamed 'il pompiere' (the fireman) because of his former job while in Sweden, Nordahl is the highest scoring foreign player in the history of Serie A. Along with Giuseppe Meazza, Nordahl's 17 Serie A hattricks is the most by any player in the competition.
Nordahl's 35 goals during the 1949-50 season was the most prolific season goal tally by a player till Gonzalo Higuain lowered the mark in 2015-16 by scoring 36 goals for Napoli.
Twice a Serie A winner for Milan, Nordahl has the record for most Capocannonieri (5), finishing as the top scorer in Serie A in five of six seasons between 1949-50 and 1954-55.
# 2: Francesco Totti (250 goals)
A one-club man throughout his career, since his debut for AS Roma in 1992-93, Francesco Totti's 250 goals from 619 appearances in 25 seasons for the Italian capital club places him in second place in the list of Serie A's all time top scorers.
Totti played the bulk of his career as an offensive midfielder or as a second forward behind the main striker before transitioning to a lone striker role in his later years, winning his lone Serie A title in 2000-01.
Totti's 71 goals from the penalty spot is a Serie A record and his 21 direct free-kick goals is only behind Alessandro Del Piero, Sinisa Mihajlovic and Andrea Pirlo in the history of the league.
Along with Alberto Gilardino and Roberto Baggio, Totti has the record for scoring against most number of goals for different Serie-A clubs (38).
Totti is one of only 4 players to make 600 or more Serie A appearances and shares the Serie A record for most seasons in the top flight (25) with Paolo Maldini of AC Milan while standing alone for most consecutive Serie A seasons scoring a goal (23).
