10 best forwards in football this season

#6 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)

RSC Anderlecht v Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League — Lewandowski is arguably the most clinical finisher in world football at the moment

One of the best strikers in the world, Robert Lewandowski has consistently shown what a true world class goalscorer he is with his performances for Bayern Munich in the past few seasons. Bayern Munich is a team full of superstars, but Lewandowski is arguably their biggest trump card.

Capable of scoring goals from any angle, Lewandoski is quite simply a complete striker as he is comfortable with both his right and left foot and is also extremely competitive and effective in the air.

Having scored over 40 goals in both 2015/16 and 2016/17 campaigns, the Polish superstar is well on his way to cross that mark once again this season having already scored 32 goals.

Lewandowski is miles ahead in the race to win the Bundesliga golden boot this season and Heynckes will be hoping that the prolific striker continues his good form in the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League.
