4 strikers Brighton should look to sign in January

#1 - Fydor Smolov (FC Krasnodar)

Fydor Smolov

This striker is certainly setting the world alight in Russia. Fydor Smolov has earned himself a call-up to Russia's senior side for his performances, both in the past and at present.

Despite making his debut in November 2012, he's scored 11 goals in 28 appearances for his country. Having featured during their friendly draw against Spain, he captained the side and netted a brace against La Roja - who started Gerard Pique and Sergio Ramos in central defence, their strongest pairing.

An impressive display, he'll be hoping for more of those against better opposition in future. This season alone, he has already scored 10 goals in Russia's Premier Liga, having made 13 appearances.

He appears on course to beat his scoring record of 18 goals in 22 matches from last season, which will further reinforce the ability to continually finish chances on a consistent basis.

Known for his rather emphatic finishes, he's capable of timing his runs to perfection when advancing forward into the final third. Brighton would be wise to have a look at the 27-year-old, who could definitely help contribute in attack.
