Romelu Lukaku has had a dream start to life at Inter Milan - scoring 35 league goals - after a largely underwhelming stint at Manchester United.

The Belgian striker plundered 34 goals in his debut campaign with the Nerazzurri - a tally that consisted of 23 strikes in the league - 11 of them since the turn of the year - to help Inter finish a creditable second in the points table.

This season, Lukaku has taken it up a notch - he has already scored 12 times in 14 league games - to take Inter to within a point of league leaders AC Milan after 15 matches.

Lukaku has started the new year in a rich vein of form - scoring and assisting in Inter's convincing 6-2 home win over Crotone.


#5 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) - 23 goals

Mohamed Salah is undoubtedly one of the key players in Jurgen Klopp's star-studded Liverpool team that won their first English league title in three decades last season.

Though the Egyptian winger scored only 19 league goals last campaign - down from his tallies of 32 and 22 respectively in his previous two seasons in the competition - Liverpool cantered to their first triumph in the Premier League era.

This season, Salah seems to be back to his goal-scoring best. He opened the league season with a hat-trick against Leeds United and has also made an impact off the bench as Liverpool once again look like the team to beat in the English top flight.


#4 Erling Braut Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) - 23 goals

Erling Braut Haaland is arguably the hottest young striker in the game at the moment.

Since bursting onto the Champions League stage with a debut hat-trick, the Norwegian sensation hasn't looked back. His goal-scoring exploits with Salzburg earned him a winter move to German giants Borussia Dortmund, where he has taken to the Bundesliga like a duck to water.

Haaland scored 13 league goals to help Dortmund finish second to champions Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. The 20-year-old has continued from where he left off last season, scoring ten league goals in only nine games, before getting injured.

During the present campaign, Haaland continued his fabulous exploits in the Champions League - only failing to score twice in 15 games in the competition.
