#4 Ciro Immobile (Lazio)

SS Lazio v AC Milan - Serie A
Immobile is having a fantastic season

A surprise name on the list, Immobile is a player who seems to be having one of his best ever seasons. Immobile joined Lazio in 2016 from Sevilla for a reported fee of €8.75 million. He has been a mainstay in their attack ever since and has amazingly scored 60 goals in 77 games for the club. He was the Seria A top scorer in the 2013-14 season when he was playing for Torino.

Although Lazio find themselves fourth in the league, Immobile is the league's leading goal-scorer. The Italian has a goal record exactly similar to Cavani in the league this season - 24 goals in 25 games, and will also have set his sights set on the Golden Shoe.

Lazio have important games against Roma and Inter Milan left to play, and Immobile can be the deciding factor in their quest for a top-four finish.
