Top 10 youngsters who have made a bright start to the season

#4 Krzysztof Piatek (Genoa)

Piatek has been the surprise package of Serie A this season

Several unusual names are leading the goalscoring charts in Europe's major leagues. In Italy, it's the 23-year old Piatek who's set the stage alight with his hot streak. He struck in each of the first seven league games - netting nine times in all - and helped Genoa teeter around the midtable. An outlay of €4 million that the Rossoblu made in his acquisition from polish side Cracovia looked like a daylight robbery, and he's now a serious contender for the Capocannoniere prize.

#3 Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)

Sterling has burnished his credentials as one of the best young EPL players

Manchester City's sensational title-winning campaign last season was down to several first teamers in the form of their life. Raheem Sterling hit the throttle too, netting 18 times and assisting another 15 goals. Now three months into the new campaign, it's safe to say he's started in the same vein, with six goals and five assists in 10 appearances already. The 23-year old has finally realized his full potential under Guardiola and can help the Cityzens to successfully defend the Premier League crown.
