The Polish Striker continues to shine in the Serie A and has been matching shoulder to shoulder with the man leading the race right now. Piatek has made the Golden Boot race very interesting and his form has put the old guard of the Serie A well behind. He is also attracting a lot of attention from a lot of clubs around Europe, who are keeping a close watch on his phenomenal form this season.

A dismal run in October and November had dented his rise in the league, but Piatek picked up the pace in December. He failed to score in the first game of the month away to Torino but then scored three goals in the next three games. Even though he failed to score in the last two games in the month, it was enough to secure his position at a second place in the rankings.
Piatek has registered 62 shots so far, 31 of which have been on target. He is currently averaging a goal every 123 minutes and has now scored 13 goals from 19 games in the league. He is perhaps the only person who is making the man leading this list a little nervous, as, at the start of January 2019, Piatek is second in the race to the Serie A Golden Boot.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written over 8500 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
