The top 9 number 9s in Europe right now

#3 Sebastian Haller

Haller has been the top striker at Frankfurt for more than a year

If you follow Bundesliga, then the name Sebastian Haller must ring a bell. Haller won the 2017 Bundesliga Goal of the Year award for his outrageous overhead kick against Stuttgart.

For those of you who are unaware of the development of this really lethal finisher in the Bundesliga, the 24-year-old Frenchman can be described as the perfect modern No.9 who's got the physique, speed, finishing and even acrobatic skills to terrorize the opposition defences.

The former Utrecht forward has been active in front of the goal this season too and has scored 5 goals and assisted 6 in 8 starts for the club. This youngster is a beast.

No one knew about this 23-year-old Polish striker last season, come this season and out of nowhere this Genoa forward fired himself right at the top of the European goal-scoring charts.

Krzysztof Piatek, leading goal-scorer in the Serie A, has literally been carrying his side in the league so far, having managed to score in 7 of his 8 appearances for the club. His individual tally of 9 goals accounts for 70% of all the goals scored by I Rossoblu.
