Trending
The Belgian has been in brilliant form over the last couple of seasons and has transformed into one of the best strikers in Europe during his time with Inter Milan.
The former Manchester United man moved to Serie A in 2019 and became a key part of Antonio Conte's side. In 95 games for the Nerazzurri, Lukaku scored 64 goals and registered 16 assists. His 24 goals and 10 assists during the previous season helped Inter win their first Serie A title in 11 years.
Unfortunately, due to Inter's financial crisis, Lukaku had to be sold and the forward returned to the Premier League with Chelsea. He has started well at Stamford Bridge, scoring four goals in eight games for the Blues.
While Lukaku is a naturally left-footed player, only 33 per cent of his goals have come from his left-foot. The 28-year-old has scored a lot of headers showing that he has been using his height and physical presence to good effect.
Lukaku's arrival makes Chelsea one of the contenders for the Premier League title and the Blues will be hoping that he is the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle.
#2 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) - €100 million
Mohamed Salah has arguably been the best player in the Premier League during the last few seasons.
The Egyptian winger has been a revelation since joining Liverpool in 2017. He managed to claim the Golden Boot during his first season, with his 32 goals breaking the record for most goals scored by a player in a single campaign.
The 29-year-old is a vital part of Jurgen Klopp's side, and has won three major honors with the Reds, including the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League.
So far in his club career, Salah has scored 208 goals out of which 132 have come from his left-foot.
Salah started the 2020-21 season in fine fashion, recording eight goals and two assists in eight games across all competitions. He will be hoping to carry on his brilliant form as Liverpool look to regain their Premier League title.
#1 Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) - €130 million
Easily one of the most lethal strikers in world football right now, Erling Haaland has been absolutely sensational since bursting onto the scene in 2019.
Haaland caught the attention of Europe's top clubs after his brilliant performances in the Champions League with Red Bull Salzburg. The Norway international moved to Borussia Dortmund in January 2020 and since then has been scoring goals for fun for the Bundesliga outfit.
In 67 appearances in all competitions, the 21-year-old has scored 68 goals and provided 19 assists, averaging more than one goal per game.
Haaland also holds the record of being the fastest to reach 20 Champions League goals, after achieving the feat in just 16 games.
Most of Haaland's goals during his professional club career have come from his left foot. He has scored 117 goals so far out of which more than 50 per cent of them have come from his preferred foot.
Haaland started the new season with 11 goals and four assists in just eight games across all competitions. The forward will be hoping to carry on with his form and will definitely eye the European Golden Boot this season.
