#4 Edinson Cavani (53 goals in 57 matches)

Arsenal FC v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League
Cavani is a part of the fearsome front 3 of Paris Saint-Germain

Edinson Cavani from Uruguay is a quick, strong and opportunistic forward who plies his trade in the French Ligue 1 with PSG. After playing second fiddle to Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a number of years, he has assumed the mantle of being the lead striker at the club since the former's departure.

He is strong on both feet well as in the air. However, he is often adored by the fans for his tireless running throughout the game.

He ended the year 2017 with 53 goals from just 57 matches maintaining an impressive goal per game ratio of 0.93.

He has enjoyed an absolutely stellar season with PSG as he reached a half-century of goals with them this calendar year. He also scored 3 times for Uruguay taking his total tally to 53 for the year.
