5 strikers that have been lethal this season

#2 Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan)

Icardi has become a monster this season and is central to Inter's title hopes

Mauro Icardi has been an absolute animal in the box this season, appearing more and more ruthless every time he takes to the pitch. Thanks to his accurate goal-scoring abilities, the Nerrazurri skipper is already amongst Inter's top 10 greatest goal-scorers. He has scored 94 times for Internazionale, since joining the club in 2013.

The Argentinian finished with 14 goals in the first half of last season.

As of now, he already has an astonishing 16 in 15 league games to brag about. Apart from being Inter's best performer, the 24-year-old has also proven to be the most important player for the Italians, scoring a brace against AS Roma and completing a last-minute hattrick against AC Milan.

Inter Milan are on a road to redemption and are currently atop the Serie A standings.

Retaining Icardi will be crucial for Luciano Spalleti's team, Real Madrid among a host of others clubs are said to be in pursuit of the striker.
