Goals Scored - 10

The Polish striker started December with an 8-minute cameo against Atalanta, where he scored the winner after coming off the bench, in a thrilling 2-1 away win for Napoli. It kick-started a strong month for Milik, who was on song and consistently on target in the Serie A.

His heroics against Atalanta earned him a spot in the starting line up in the following game against Frosinone and the Polish International responded by scoring a brace in a 4-0 win. He followed that up with the only goal of the game in a narrow 1-0 win over Cagliari Calcio next.

He was on the bench for the win over SPAL and then failed to find the back of the net in the disappointing 1-0 loss to Inter Milan in the following game. However, he ended the year on a high, scoring a brace as Napoli fought off Bologna 3-2. Milik ended December with six goals from five games and his brilliance earned him the 4th spot in the race to the Serie A Golden Boot at the start of January 2019.
