Sportskeeda's 10 best Forwards of 2017

#6 Radamel Falcao

Earlier this year, Radamel Falcao made sure Willy Caballero had no future at Manchester City

Radamel Falcao's story is one of inspiration, of the kind of things one can achieve with a never-say-die spirit... To hell and back: the story of Radamel Falcao's miraculous resurrection ... but he isn't the 6th best forward in the world - as per this list, anyway - because of sentimental reasons or because of how much it lifts the narrative of the entire read.

He is there because he is back to his clinical 'El Tigre' best in front of goal.

Having top-scored for Europe's dazzling top-scorers, AS Monaco, last season, the Colombian has started the current one the same way and is right up there in the hunt for the European Golden Boot 2017/18.

Where he was once explosive and unpredictable, he is now more efficient - taking much fewer shots on goal, but scoring at a higher % than before - and the wily old center-forward will be raring to go in 2018.
