#2 Fabio Quagliarella (Italy, UC Sampdoria)
Goals Scored - 16
The Veteran Striker has shown no signs of slowing down right now. Quagliarella started the new year on the same note as he ended the last and after a brilliant January, has made the race to the Serie A Golden Boot pretty interesting at the start of February.
The Italian marked the return of the Serie A after the winter break with a brace against Fiorentina, in a game that ended 3-3. In the following game, he scored twice again, this time against Udinese, in a comfortable 4-0 win for Sampdoria. He ended the month with 4 goals from 2 games. However, his goalscoring run took a brief respite last weekend against Napoli, when the Italian failed to score for the first time in the last 12 appearances and his team lost the game 0-3
Quagliarella is averaging a goal every 113 minutes and is scoring 0.76 goals per game in an average. He has recorded 60 shot so far, 32 of which have been on target. With 16 goals from 21 games, Fabio Quagliarella is second among the top Contenders for the Serie A Golden Boot at the start of February.
