#8 Pablo Sarabia (Spain, Sevilla FC)

Sevilla v Ujpest - UEFA Europa League Second Qualifying Round: 1st leg

Goals Scored: 5

The Spanish attacking midfielder had a fantastic month of October, and only a lower goals to games ratio keeps him from ranking a little higher. Pablo Sarabia now has already scored 13 goals from 18 games in all competitions this season and in La Liga, he has scored 5 goals from 10 games.

At the start of October, Sarabia had scored just 1 goal in 7 games. He started the month by finding the net against Celta de Vigo. He then scored a goal in the very next game, a 2-4 defeat at the hands of Barcelona. Last weekend, the Spaniard scored both goals in the 2-1 win over SD Huesca. Sarabia now has 4 goals in his last 3 games in the La Liga and has been on fire this season.

Last season, Sarabia scored 9 goals in 53 games, including 6 in the La Liga from 34 games. Sarabia will most definitely have a better return at the end of this season and might just keep the big guns on their toes. As of now, the Spaniard is 8th among the top contenders for the La Liga Golden Boot at the start of November.
