Striker: Antonio Di Natale

It is incredible how despite already being 32 at the start of the decade, Antonio Di Natale was crowned Serie A's top scorer in 2010 and 2011 and has more goals than anyone in this decade.

His tally of a staggering 125 goals despite retiring in 2016 is absolutely unbelievable. Di Natale also made the Serie A team of the year 3 times in his career.

The Italian was a great natural goal scorer and did the most with the limited service he had. His commitment and loyalty to Udinese cost him the chance to win trophies but has made him a respected and beloved character in Italy.

Striker: Gonzalo Higuain

The Argentine might be a forgotten man of sorts after his failed loan spells at AC Milan and Chelsea but he has had an amazing time in Serie A in the last decade.

His record-breaking season of 36 goals is one which will be remembered by all Serie A fans. A move to Juventus in 2016 saw him win two league titles. His half-season at AC Milan was disappointing but that does not take away the fact that Gonzalo Higuain was absolutely lethal in his time in Italy.

Higuain is third in terms of goals scored over the last 10 years, with an incredible 118 in just 195 appearances.

Honorable mentions for the striker position include Ciro Immobile, Fabio Quagliarella, Mauro Icardi, and Dries Mertens.
