5 most productive strikers in Europe this season

#3 Dries Mertens – 73.297 minutes per goal/assist

The man from Napoli is making his presence felt all over Europe

The second Serie A forward on this list is Napoli’s Dries Mertens. The Belgian has been in fine form this season for the Naples club and is justifying the many links that see him potentially joining Manchester United or Arsenal in the summer.

In the 40 appearances he’s made for Napoli, Mertens has made 12 substitute appearances and that number is probably what puts him on this list as one of the more productive ones. Although, we aren’t taking anything away from the 27 goals (two penalties) and the 12 assists he’s had a part in this season.

In total, the 29-year-old has played 2712 minutes for the club meaning he’s able to produce a goal or an assist every 73.297 minutes and is the third most productive striker in all of Europe.
