Top 10 best strikers in Europe

Based on performance and expert assessments, Sportskeeda has released a list of the 10 best strikers in Europe today.

* The list does not include wingers, false 9s or attacking midfielders:

10. Diego Costa

Diego Costa certainly had a terrible time at Chelsea last season. But things have changed 180 degrees since Antonio Conte took over at Stamford Bridge.

The 28-year-old striker has scored nine goals in just 11 Premier League appearances this season. The impressive form of the Brazilian-born Spanish striker is one of the reasons why fans are hopeful about the Blues' journey to glory this season.

9. Edinson Cavani

Although still considered one of the world's top strikers, but against a terrifying Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani often only plays a supporting role at Paris Saint-Germain.

Things have changed now, Ibrahimovic has moved to Manchester United and Cavani has been unleashed. 14 goals in 12 appearances. What can you say about the Uruguayan striker's incredible performance. Under the guidance of coach Unai Emery, Cavani has once again found the scoring instinct he had when he was at Napoli.

8. Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku had a very impressive last season. The Belgian striker scored 25 goals in 46 appearances for Everton. Lukaku did not make much of an impact at Chelsea before, but since moving to Goodison Park, the 23-year-old has shown that he is one of the top strikers in the Premier League.

Tall, agile, with good dribbling ability and excellent finishing skills, Lukaku is one of the best strikers in the Premier League at the moment.

The Toffees striker has 14 goals in 23 appearances across all competitions for both club and country. If this impressive form continues, Lukaku will surely be a top target for many European giants.

7. Jamie Vardy

Jamie Vardy had a great season when he, along with Riyad Mahrez and N'golo Kante, contributed greatly to helping Leicester City create the miracle of winning the Premier League last season.

Vardy's talent is easily seen through the respectful attitude of Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann. When asked about the names worthy of winning the Golden Ball this year, Griezmann surprisingly chose Jamie Vardy as one of the top three names.

"First of all Cristiano Ronaldo because he has two important titles, Lionel Messi because he is the only one and maybe Jamie Vardy for the English fairy tale with Leicester."

Although Vardy has not had a good start to the season, the Leicester City striker deserves a place on this list.

6. Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a formidable resume before moving to Manchester United. 50 goals in 51 appearances for PSG last season proved the Swede's killer instinct.

Despite his unimpressive form at Old Trafford this year, Ibrahimovic is still considered one of the world's top strikers with 6 goals in 11 appearances in the Premier League.

5. Sergio Aguero

Sergio Aguero is considered one of the world's top strikers at the moment. The Manchester City star is renowned for his strength, agility, speed and finishing skills.

The 28-year-old has had a sensational start to life under Pep Guardiola, scoring 14 goals in 15 appearances this season and is clearly one of the best strikers in world football at the moment.

4. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

With 15 goals in 15 appearances this season, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is clearly one of the most impressive strikers at the moment. Aubameyang has been Dortmund's main goalscorer in recent seasons.

Possessing incredible speed, this talented striker has an extremely intelligent playing style. The Dortmund striker also has good defensive support ability. The Gabon international is being pursued by many European giants.

3. Gonzalo Higuain

Gonzalo Higuain almost single-handedly led Napoli to compete with Juventus in Serie A last season. Although he lost steam at the end of the season, with 36 goals in 35 appearances, the Argentine striker was completely worth the 90 million euros that the defending champions spent to recruit him this summer.

Outstanding in personal technique and finishing skills, Higuain is extremely dangerous in defensive counter-attacking play. At Juventus, the 28-year-old striker continues to show impressive form with 7 goals in 12 appearances in Serie A.

2. Robert Lewandowski

With one of the best goalscoring abilities in the world today, Robert Lewandowski is undoubtedly the star striker of the Polish national team and Bayern Munich. Lewandowski's 42 goals in 51 appearances contributed greatly to Bayern Munich winning two titles, the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal, last season.

With his ability to finish with both feet and his impeccable penalty kicking skills, Robert Lewandowski is considered one of the most complete strikers in world football today. With 7 goals in 9 appearances for Bayern Munich, Lewandowski is competing with Aubameyang and Modeste for the Bundesliga's top scorer title this season.

Lewandowski is an indispensable part of the invincible Bayern Munich army, with new coach Carlo Ancelotti, the Polish striker is expected to reach new heights.

1. Luis Suarez

Since leaving Liverpool for Barcelona, ​​Luis Suarez has gradually improved and improved himself. The Uruguayan striker even surpassed Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann in La Liga last season with 40 goals in 35 appearances to win the Pichichi award.

Talented and with a tenacious fighting spirit, Luis Suarez always plays with 100% of his strength. Known for his acceleration and skillful dribbling skills, Suarez has made many defenses across Europe worry and scored spectacular goals.

Despite a modest start to the season (15 goals in 17 appearances) (compared to Suarez's ability) there is no denying that the Barcelona star is one of the best strikers in the world.
