10 best forwards in world football at the moment

#6. Robert Lewandowski

Lewandowski has been on fire for quite a while

The Pole is one of the best "pure" center-forwards of all time, and his performances last season where he smashed in 43 goals in 47 games merely underlined the same. He has started this season in a similar vein, scoring 8 in 7 Bundesliga matches and 12 in 11 in all competitions.

Tall, fast, unbeatable in the air and a player capable of any kind of goal - from the long-range screamer to the 2-yard tap in, from the thumping header to the curled freekick - Lewandowski is the ideal centre-forward and in all honesty, has no discernible weaknesses when looked at from a pure striker's point of view.

Add to this his scintillating form for Poland - for whom he has 12 in 8 - and you've got yourself a pretty in-form striker.

He seems determined to wrest back the title of Bundesliga's top-scorer from Aubameyang, and despite the turmoil, Bayern Munich seem to find themselves in at the moment, it would be a very unwise man who would bet against Lewandowski doing just what he wants.
