League goals scored - 18

SSC Napoli have the same number of goals scored in the Serie A as the mighty Juventus this season - 24 and are currently third in the table, level on points with Inter Milan, with only an inferior goal difference setting them apart. Much of the credit goes to their attacking trio, three players who have scored the bulk of their goals this season and have been in fantastic form so far, even though they have not played together all the time.

Lorenzo Insigne has already scored 9 goals from 13 games in all competitions this season, finding the net 7 times in 10 games in the Serie A. Napoli have always won when the Italian striker has scored this season. The 4 games that he failed to score in, Napoli won one, drew one and lost two.

Dries Mertens has continued his fine form from last season, scoring 8 goals in 14 games in all competitions so far. In the Serie A, the Belgian has 7 goals and 3 assists in 11 games. However, Mertens has only been in the starting XI 6 times so far and has lasted the full 90 minutes just 4 times. Yet, his contribution has been massive, which has seen him start and complete three of the last 4 games.

Arkadiusz Milik has scored 4 times in 9 games in the Serie A so far and while his goals have been crucial, he has also been effective with his holding play. The Polish striker also has an assist to his name

These three have already scored 18 goals in Serie A and 21 goals in all competition and as a result, are the 4th most lethal attacking trio in Europe so far.
