5 strikers who deserve to play for bigger clubs

#5 Mauro Icardi

Icardi is one of the best young strikers on the planet

Mauro Icardi is an Argentine striker who plies his trade at Inter Milan. The current season has been shaky for the Italian side so far. While they’ve had impressive victories against teams like Juventus and Fiorentina, they’ve lost games against smaller teams such as Sampdoria, Atalanta and Cagliari.

One standout for the team among all of this, though, is Mauro Icardi. He’s fired on all cylinders this season scoring 12 goals and making 4 assists in the first 15 games of the Serie A. His performances have been very impressive. He is a lethal poacher in the box converting any half-chances he gets. The Argentine has also scored a lot of goals with headers and this has to be attributed to his excellent movement in the box and between defenders.

He can also shoot very well from within the box, while his contribution outside of the box has been questioned. Icardi has been working on it and if he masters the style of link up play with his midfielders, he will be a complete attacker. He’s already been pegged by the great Javier Zanetti to be something special in the future and that seems completely possible.

Inter Milan might not be the place for him to become great, though. Though the club has an incredible history, there’s been somewhat of a sense of failure over the past few years. The players around him aren’t that great either. With clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal trying to sign him, let’s hope something special happens.
