10 most efficient forwards in Europe

#9 Mauro Icardi – Inter Milan – 19.64%

Mauro Icardi will be glad to see Inter exert their financial power in the transfer market

The Argentine striker from La Masia has come a long way – but it still remains a bit of a mystery why Mauro Icardi has not moved on to one of the world’s biggest clubs, especially with Inter Milan falling from grace recently. The 24-year-old’s predatory instincts have always been known – and herein lies the proof.

With 54 goals from 275 shots in the last 3 seasons, Icardi is consistently accurate, converting 19.64 % of his chances. He had an excellent 2015/16 season, where his 15 goals came from only 55 shots – Icardi nearly doubled the number of shots he takes this season, but only added 6 goals to his tally.

Icardi is approaching his prime years though, and could conceivably be an intelligent buy for one of the bigger clubs in Europe.
