Heir to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the star striker of the moment in Europe

With the departure of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo from elite football, the figures that emerged on the European level were Erling Braut Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. However, the start of the 2023-2024 season is not going as expected for both, since there are other forwards with better performance than them. The Norwegian attacker lost some offensive power with the inclusion of Julián Álvarez in Manchester City's starting team. The world champion with Argentina is having more minutes and backs it up with his great performance. For his part, Mbappe is being highly questioned by the French press.

Now, neither Haaland nor Mbappe are included among the five best scorers of the moment in Europe. In fact, 'Donatello' is not even among the top ten. The Manchester City forward has the ninth best record in Europe. Haaland has eight goals in eight games, the same average as Jude Bellingham, although the Englishman is a midfielder and scored them playing 33 minutes less than the Citizen scorer. Other players with eight goals are: Mauro Icardi and Harry Kane, although they scored fewer minutes than Haaland and Bellingham.

The players who usually achieve the best prices in the football transfer market are usually those who occupy attacking positions. Mainly, at the international level the scorers stand out. What is outstanding among forwards can not only be seen financially, where contributions tend to rise considerably among the players who contribute the most goals. It can also be seen that the most outstanding forwards are the ones competing for the most important prizes.

Lautaro Martínez's great moment

The captain and number 10 of Inter Milan is experiencing great form in the Neroazzurro team. One of the facts that makes 'Bull' one of the best forwards today is that he has accumulated 12 goals in 11 games so far this season. Particularly, in Serie A he has 11 goals in 9 games. The great performance can be measured if you compare it with Víctor Osimhen, one of the best attackers of last season, who currently has almost half of Lautaro's goals, with 6 goals in the Italian league.
