Top 5 attackers in the La Liga right now

When it comes to searching for the best attacking talents in the football world at the moment, there is no better league to find such incredible superstars than the La Liga. The Spanish top flight has enjoyed an immense reputation as the home of the top offense-minded players, having hosted some of the finest attackers in the game during the past few years.

Although the division lost some iconic figures when Brazilian superstar Neymar Junior departed Barcelona to complete a world-record deal to join Paris Saint Germain during the summer of 2017, and Portuguese maestro Cristiano Ronaldo doing the same by swapping Real Madrid in favor of a move to Juventus this summer, the La Liga is still in possession of some of the most impressive and vastly talented attackers the football world currently possess.

With their amazing records in front of goal, these incredible superstars have been running riot in the Spanish top division since the beginning of the campaign. From brilliant left wingers to fantastic right wingers and down to unstoppable strikers, we take a look at the top 5 attackers in the Spanish top flight right now:

#5. Andre Silva

Andre Silva has been a hit in the La Liga so far this season

The rise of Portuguese superstar Andre Silva is one thing that has surprised many football fans in the La Liga this season. The striker was one of the most rated young attackers in European football during his time with Porto, attracting interest from many big teams and eventually earning a big move to join Italian side, AC Milan during the summer of 2017.

All eyes were on Silva when he made his famous switch to the Seria A but the striker found life difficult in the Italian capital, recording an embarrassing 2 goals to his name during the previous campaign and he eventually secured a loan move to join Spanish giants, Sevilla this summer.

On getting to the La Liga, the Portuguese returned to his incredible best immediately, tormenting opposition defenders and reminding us of his amazing talent once again. The striker has already bagged a whopping 7 goals to his name in just 11 La Liga appearances this season and he has quickly emerged as one of the top attackers in the Spanish top flight at the moment.

#4. Christian Stuani

The Uruguayan superstar has been quite exceptional in front of goal so far this season

Girona forward, Christian Stuani is another name that should be mentioned when highlighting the most in-form attackers in the La Liga right now, with the Uruguayan having established himself as one of the elite goalscorers in the Spanish top flight so far during the campaign.

Stuani has been in an explosive form since the domestic league began this term, finding the back of the net consistently as he continues to prove his incredible abilities in front of goal this season as well as attracting many suitors from various divisions across Europe.

The Uruguayan striker has already recorded an impressive 8 goals to his name in 10 La Liga appearances for Girona this season and with his incredible form at the moment, there is no limit to what he could achieve during the course of the campaign.

#3. Iago Aspas

The Celta De Vigo forward has continued with his incredible goalscoring efforts in the Spanish top division

When it comes to rating the top attacking talents who are plying their trade in the La Liga right now, only a few superstars can really compete with the incredible statistics of Celta De Vigo striker, Iago Aspas.

The 31-year-old has been one of the most prolific goalscorers in the Spanish top flight for the past few years and his incredible performances in front of goal since the beginning of the current campaign also qualify him as one of the most impressive attackers the division has got at the moment.

The Spanish International finished fourth on the goalscoring chart with 22 goals to his name during the previous campaign and he is well on track to fight for the Pichichi trophy once again this term, having bagged an impressive 8 goals and 1 assist in 12 appearances in the Spanish top flight this term.

#2. Luis Suarez

Suarez has stepped up in recent weeks to prove his amazing abilities in front of goal

It took some time before Barcelona superstar Luis Suarez started finding the back of the net this season and just as his manager, Ernesto Valverde had said earlier, once the Uruguayan started banging in the goals, he hasn't stopped scoring since then.

Suarez came to the fore during Lionel Messi's recent injury layoff and he was arguably Barcelona's best player in the absence of the Argentine maestro which lasted for 3 weeks - putting up eye-catching performances in big games and scoring a couple of vital goals which included a fantastic hat-trick against Real Madrid in the lastest El-Classico clash.

Suarez has been quite unstoppable in front of goal in the La Liga this term, notching 9 fantastic goals and 4 decent assists in 12 appearances in the Spanish top division as well as taking his seat on top of the goalscoring chart alongside his teammate - Lionel Messi.

#1. Lionel Messi

The Argentine has been a huge influence in front of goal in the La Liga this term

This is the name that every Barcelona fan will be craving to see on the list. A highly talented superstar with unmatchable technical skills and unparalleled goalscoring knack, Argentine maestro, Lionel Messi remains the most prolific attacker in the La Liga right now.

The attacker finished as the top scorer in the division during the previous term with a brilliant 34 goals and 12 assists to his name and he has also started the new campaign in an electrifying form, finding the back of the net a whopping 9 times as well as setting up another 5 in just 10 appearances so far.

The Argentine was recently awarded the Pichichi trophy to honor his incredible exploits in front of goal last term and he will be keen to defend the award this season especially when his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo has left the division.
