Ranking the deadliest strikers in each of Europe's top 5 leagues

2. Felipe Caicedo | Serie A | 32%

Felipe Caicedo

Lazio striker Felipe Caicedo is undoubtedly the most surprising inclusion on this list but such as been his influence in limited opportunities this season. The former Manchester City player has gone on to become a journeyman, having played in seven different leagues in his career so far. Lazio brought the Ecuadorian to Italy after a three-year-stay at Espanyol for a fee of €2.5m.

Although his fellow forward Ciro Immobile has been in the spotlight for his unbelievable goalscoring form, Caicedo has had a telling impact on the team despite a limited number of starts. The former Ecuador international has appeared 20 times in the league this season, out of which 11 were starts, and has a tally of 8 goals and 2 assists in that period. Striking once every 108 minutes, Caicedo is the most clinical striker in the Italian top-flight with a conversion rate of 32%.

1. Erling Haaland | Bundesliga | 56.3%

Erling Haaland

The teenager who has the world at his feet, Erling Braut Haaland has lit up every competition he has set foot in this season and has firmly established himself as one of the hottest properties in world football. The Norwegian was courted by his compatriot and manager of Manchester United Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but the 19-year-old chose to leave RB Salzburg for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. Unsurprisingly, everything he's kicked has turned to gold so far in Germany.
