Who are the top five strikers to look out for in European football this season?

The striker's position is the most sought-after position in football as it's incredibly rare to find a player who will score a lot of goals in elite-level football.

The game aims to outscore the opponent in any football game, meaning a team's striker has to be firing if the club wants to be successful.

European football has seen some of the greatest strikers in the history of the game, from Brazilian Ronaldo, Sergio Aguero, Didier Drogba, and many more.

Chelsea has spent nearly one billion pounds since their new owner arrived, but they have still been unable to find the perfect striker to mesh with their star-studded lineup.

There are five strikers now who are still playing at the top level or rising to the elite of forwards in European football.

Here are the top five strikers in European football!

Polish striker Robert Lewandowski may not be quite the player he used to be, but after scoring 23 goals in La Liga last season with Barcelona, it shows he's still up there with the best.

The progression of young players at Barcelona is a reason to watch out for Lewandowski this season, with Pedri and Gavi only getting better and the introduction of former Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan in midfield. He is yet to score in two games this year.

Analysts believed Victor Osimhen was the perfect fit for Chelsea this season after scoring 26 Serie A goals last season as his Napoli side won the league.

Osimhen is a key player to look out for this season, being only 24, his prime is still ahead of him. He emphatically started the season, scoring two goals away to Frosinone.

Rumors have been flying around all summer as to where Kylian Mbappé will end up this season, with links to Saudi Arabia and Real Madrid being the strongest.

Despite all the talk about his future, it's easy to see why teams would spend over $300 million on him. He provides pace, precision, and an eye for goal, scoring 29 goals last year in Ligue 1.

In his final year for Tottenham last season, Harry Kane showed just how much the Spurs fans are going to miss him, scoring 30 goals in the Premier League alone.

Kane is now the figurehead of the best team in Germany, playing for Bayern Munich. The England captain is only going to get many more chances to score this season, and he's already opened his account up with a goal against Werder Bremen in the first game of the season.

Last season, Erling Haaland was only brought in to do one thing for Manchester City – score goals. And that he did, scoring 36 goals in 38 Premier League games and helping City to their first treble.

With the loss of Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez, and Kevin de Bruyne for a couple of months, it may be difficult for Haaland to repeat what he did last season, but so far, he has two goals in two games, keeping him on the goal a game trail.
