4. Diego Costa – Atletico Madrid
It may have taken the Brazilian-born hitman a while to get going in the Spanish capital, but he is now firmly established as one of the best strikers in Europe as he continues to keep his club in touching distance with Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table.
He bagged 20 goals in 44 appearances last season, and has already surpassed himself this term with 23 in 23. Atletico will surely do everything in their power to keep hold of him.
