Goals Scored this season - 13

The Genoa striker is just 23 years old and as such is both a risk and an investment in the market. Krzysztof Piatek has already scored 13 goals from 12 games in all competitions so far and in the Serie A, the striker has found the net 9 times in 11 games.

Krzysztof Piatek started the season brightly, scoring in each of his first 7 games in the Serie A. However, he has been on a barren run in the last 4 games before the start of this weekend, a period where he has failed to score against all the three heavyweights of the league - Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan.

The Polish striker is very strong in the air and also runs the line beautifully. He has a great eye for the goal and is good both in the box as well as outside. His strongest point is his finishing and he is extremely composed in front of goal. While his age and lack of experience in top leagues remain a concern, Krzysztof Piatek could be a great replacement for Lukaku. However, he will not be cheap, with his recent form meaning that the Polish striker could cost at least 40m Euros.
