Who are going to be the next set of strikers who will be world class in a few years. Let me throw some names (some well known and some not that high profile)-
Romelu Lukaku- Nearing half a century in premier league goals and not even 22 yet. Since the start of 2012-2013 he has scored 39 league goals (In the same period just for reference Giroud has 35). Probably going through his worst league moments in the last 2-3 years but Everton as a whole have disappointed. He scored 17, 16 and this season he's got 13 so he should end up getting an overall higher haul despite the dip in league goals. Powerful, pacy but still needs work on his touch. Personally if Chelsea sold him to us would have gone for him over Welbeck.
Alvaro Morata- A a good talent but like many who were at Madrid has not played that much. Did he join the right club in Juventus for a player in need of starting games? (Remember his games for Madrid are mostly sub appearances off the bench)
Luciano Vietto- I am sure our scouts must know about him given they scouted Gabriel this season. Vietto who just turned 21 two months ago has already racked up 18 goals for Villarreal in his debut season. He's also on course for being double digits in assists.
Paulo Dybala- Palermo paid a relatively high fee given their modest budget to bring him in and with 12 league goals he's made his breakthrough this season. After supposedly agreeing a contract extension his agent started asking for more money and with his deal expiring in 2016 the president has made it clear that he will be sold in the summer.
Harry Kane- Still only 21 he's scored 24 goals in 38 games this season. At first glance he doesn't seem to have any particularly outstanding skill but he does have a good all round game. Wether he is a one season wonder or a real talent we will find out in the coming years.
Saido Berahino- 21 years old and seems to have great finishing and pace. Linked with Liverpool and Tottenham. Questions do surround his attitude though.
Danny Ings- 9 league goals for a Burnley team. The third premier league class striker Burnley have had in the last 2-3 years (They sold Jay Rodriguez and Charlie Austin in the last 2-3 years). A free transfer in the summer to a higher profile club awaits.
Mauro Icardi- Third Argentinian on this list. Once at Barcelona Mauro Icardi left for Sampdoria to get regular first team action and has not looked back since then. He scored 10 league goals for Sampdoria which earned him a move to Inter. After an injury hit first season he's scored 19 in 31 at nearly a rate of 2 per 3 games. The only thing seemingly in the way for him like Berahino is apparent attitude problems. Had a major falling out with another former Barcelona player Maxi Lopez who played with him at Sampdoria. Icardi had an affair with his wife and now she's married to him.
Alexander Lacazette- Oldest player on this list as he turns 24 this summer. Started scoring regularly for Lyon a year ago and this season he's averaged nearly a league goal per game. Lyon's academy have also produced Karim Benzema and Loic Remy.
