Top 5 strikers in the MLS right now

Orlando City SC v Los Angeles Galaxy
Zlatan has been bossing the league since his arrival

#4 Josef Martinez - Atlanta United

Seattle Sounders v Atlanta United
Martinez (R) has had a record-breaking season

The league's top scorer had to have a place in this list. The Venezuelan striker has been phenomenal this season scoring 27 goals in 25 matches, leading is the team to the top of the Eastern Conference table.

He is at some distance from the runner-up- Bradley Wright Philis who is on 16 goals.

Josef Martinez plays as part of a dual strike partnership with an attacking midfielder, usually Almiron behind him. But the Venezuelan bags nearly all the goals for his club to account for more than 50% of the total goals scored by Atlanta United this season.

27 goals by one player in a single season is a record in the MLS that has stood for 22 seasons. Martinez looks well and truly placed to shatter that record and set one himself that might just be too difficult to break in the future.
