Ciro Immobile has been one of the most consistent performers in Serie A over the last three years, and got reward for his efforts when he finished as the joint-top scorer (alongside Mauro Icardi) with 28 goals last season.

His performances since his arrival in Lazio in 2016 have been nothing short of exceptional, as he has risen to almost iconic status at the Stadio Olimpico, endearing himself to the hearts of the Biancocelesti faithful.

Immobile currently has nine goals and one assist from 14 Serie A matches thus far this season to help the Rome based club lie fifth on the standings as they chase down a Champions League spot which they narrowly missed last season.

#15 Harry Kane (Tottenham)

League - England Premier League

League coefficient - (x2)

Arguably the most lethal striker in Europe over the last three seasons, Harry Kane was the EPL Golden Boot winner in consecutive seasons in 2016 and 2017, but for an unfortunate injury last season might have made it three on the trot.

He endured a couple of loan spells early on in his career, but became established in the Spurs lineup in 2014 following the struggles of big money flop Roberto Soldado, and since then the 25-year-old has not looked back.

Incredibly, he outscored both Ronaldo and Messi in the calendar year of 2017, and has broken a plethora of goalscoring records in just a few years of playing top-flight football.

Harry Kane is a goalscorer of the highest proportions and he established his pedigree at the World Cup where he was named the Golden Boot winner, and with him in their ranks, Spurs can be confident of achieving their season's objectives.
