4 forwards who have exceeded expectations this season

Modified Mar 05, 2019 11:57 GMT

#3 Cristhian Stuani

Another late bloomer, Stuani is having the best season of his career so far at the age of 32. He has scored 15 goals in 22 LaLiga matches, and has been a revelation while playing for lowly Girona. He has really impressed with his athleticism, finishing abilities and opportunism.

Girona are languishing at the bottom half of the LaLiga table, and therefore, Stuani’s achievements seem to be even more incredible. He is behind only Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in terms of goals in LaLiga this season, and has tormented the defences of most of the LaLiga teams.

It is a pity that Stuani is almost 33 years old; because otherwise, he would have been in great demand at the beginning of the next season. He still can get offers from big clubs, because he should still have a couple of seasons left in him at the top level, and does not have any fitness issues either.
