top 7 strikers over the age of 30 — Who is number 1?

#6 Iago Aspas (30) - Celta de Vigo

England v Spain - International Friendly — Iago Aspas' good form even earned him a call to the Spanish national team

Liverpool fans might be shocked by his inclusion on this list, but there is no denying the fact that Aspas has been one of the standout performers in La Liga this season. The highest scoring Spaniard in the League, Aspas has almost singlehandedly made a very average Celta Vigo side into a good one.

Blessed with good dribbling skills, technical ability, and finishing skills, the Celta Vigo star with his good performances even earned a call-up to the Spain national team. Finding space in tight areas is Aspas' specialty and he has been extremely clinical this season scoring 16 league goals in 24 matches.

At 30, Aspas is playing some of the best football of his career and Celta Vigo will be hoping that the talented forward continues his good form this season. On a personal note, should Aspas continue his good form, he will be more than hopeful of making it to the 2018 Spain World Cup squad.
