Top 10 strikers currently in Serie A in 2024, taking into account both their recent performances and overall experience.
10. Andrea Pinamonti, Sassuolo.
Pinamonti has made it into the top 10 due to his skills as a solid striker with moments of brilliance when his inspiration and best qualities shine through.
9. Duvan Zapata, Torino.
Following a disappointing last season in Bergamo, the legendary Duvan Zapata had a fresh start in Torino and did well by scoring 12 goals with 4 assists, thus somewhat restoring his status as one of the top strikers in Serie A.
8. Ademola Lookman, Atalanta.
Ademola Lookman emerged as a standout player in the 2022/23 Serie A season during his debut year in Bergamo. Despite not playing a full 2,000 minutes, Lookman stood out as a top attacking player with 11 goals and 7 assists in Serie A.
7. Gianluca Scamacca, Atalanta
In the previous season, Scamacca demonstrated his ability to contribute to a high-quality attack suitable for the Champions League by scoring 12 goals and providing an average of 1.1 key passes per game.
6. Albert Gudmundsson, Genoa.
Albert Gudmundsson was possibly the best in Serie A for creating key passes and chances. He was among the leading scorers in the league with 14 goals. Gudmundsson had an average of 2.3 key passes, 2.5 completed dribbles, and fouls drawn per game.
5. Charles De Ketelaere, Atalanta.
Charles De Ketelaere, the Belgian player, demonstrated his ability to impact the game by helping La Dea secure a spot in the Champions League with 10 goals and 8 assists, showcasing both playmaking skills and precise finishing.
4. Marcus Thuram, Inter Milan
Thuram provided exceptional performance for a Nerazzurri team that dominated the Serie A, tallying 13 goals and 7 assists in a superb season, leading him to start as a striker for the French national team in Euro 2024.
3. Dusan Vlahovic, Juventus.
Vlahovic was the top player for Juve and more of a help than a hindrance, outshining others in the offense.
After scoring 16 goals and providing 4 assists, it is a question mark what Vlahovic will achieve under Thiago Motta, given the strengthened midfield following Thuram and Luiz signings.
2. Victor Osimhen, Napoli.
Even though Osimhen was not performing at his peak, he still managed to score 15 goals and provide 3 assists, similar to Vlahovic's stats.
Osimhen is expected to transfer to a bigger club like PSG this summer, despite Premier League teams losing interest because they are unsure whether a 100 million euro price tag is worth the injury risk.
1. Lautaro Martinez, Inter Milan
Lautaro Martinez settled any arguments about Serie A's top striker with his impressive 2023/24 season, which carried on from a superb second half of the 2022/23 campaign.
The top player in Italian football was the Argentinian superstar, scoring 24 goals, averaging 1.8 fouls drawn per game, and 1.1 key passes per match.
