6 most improved attackers in Europe this season

#3 Paco Alcacer (Borussia Dortmund)

Alcacer is seeing some of his best footballing days at Dortmund

The Spanish forward left Barcelona for Borussia Dortmund last summer in search of greener pastures. And not only has he found that in Lucien Favre's side, but has also thrived in it so much that he's now the toast of the town in Rhine Valley (and also convinced them to sign him permanently).

Alcacer has scored 12 times in just 537 minutes of football, which is a goal every 45 minutes. Starting mostly from the bench, he has had a terrific impact as a substitute, scoring twice against Bayer Leverkusen, a hat-trick against Augsburg and more importantly, netting the winner against Bayern Munich.

What makes it all the more impressive is that he's had three different bouts of injury issues interspersed between this amazing run, but there's simply no stopping Alcacer 2.0.

Borussia Dortmund are currently on course to end Bayern's long-standing hegemony in the Bundesliga with a first title triumph in seven years, and Alcacer is highly essential to their fortunes.
