#2. Emiliano Sala

Sala is in the form of his life at the moment

When the current Ligue 1 campaign was just still near the corner, no one would have expected FC Nantes superstar Emiliano Sala to rival the likes of Neymar Junior and Kylian Mbappe on the top scorers' chart this term, but the attacker has taken his time to prove that he is capable of competing even at the highest level.

The Argentine International has been a huge force to be reckoned with in front of goal in the French top flight so far, recording an amazing 11 goals to his name in 12 appearances to put himself in the second position on the top scorer's chart at the moment.

With such incredible performances, the FC Nantes superstar has proved that he belongs among the elite attackers in the Ligue 1 at the moment and he is well poised to score even more with plenty of matches left to be played in the competition this season.
