6 most improved attackers in Europe this season

#1 Duvan Zapata (Atalanta)

Zapata has banished his failed stint at Sampdoria to the dustbin of history

Just like Pepe, Atalanta's new target man Duvan Zapata is scripting a similar fairytale story in Serie A with a hot streak that has caught everyone's attention.

Having drawn a blank until the 11th game, he's now scored in each of the last eight! Yes, that's right, and this blistering run of form has propelled him to 15 goals in the league and level with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Serie A Golden Boot race.

The Colombian's incredible streak saw him strike twice against Juventus in a 2-2 draw, a hat-trick away at Udinese, a quadruple against Frosinone(!), a winner against Lazio, and was lately on target to score Atalanta's third goal in a 3-3 thriller versus AS Roma to seal a memorable comeback.

Thanks to him, La Dea are now up to seventh in the table. The 27-year old has already struck four more than what he managed in the whole of 2017/18 and would have some of Europe's big guns knocking at his door this summer.
