Didn't include Kane, Lewandowski, and Haaland because they are aliens and clearly way above everyone else.
Imo Alvarez is the best player on the list (or is it Isak lol forgot to include him initially, my mistake) but Solanke Isak is in the best goal scoring form over the course of the last 2 seasons.
Højlund is comfortably the youngest player on this list and, out of 10 of them, he comes in 6th for most goals scored in all comps over the past 2 seasons. Is the grass on the other side really as greener as you think it is?
I personally believe we need a more experienced striker no matter what but I also believe that we need to support our young players better. Patience is a virtue.
