Know about Serie A Top Scorers in 2015/16 Season

Serie A campaign of 2015/16 is almost in the mid stage, with the second phase to start after winter vacation. The defending champion in the highest level of Italian league system is Juventus but they have failed to ensure a good start to the ongoing campaign, Inter Milan are currently leading the league table while the Old Lady are pushed to the 4^th spot. However, it is the star attacker from Napoli to top the Serie A chart of goalscorers. Let us take a quick look at the SerieA top scorers.

Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuaín leads the chart after netting 9 goals till date this season. However, he shares the top berth with Sampdoria star Eder. Closely following them is Fiorentina forward Nikola Kalinic who has grabbed 7 goals so far. Gervinho of AS Roma, Lorenzo Insigne of Napoli and Carlos Bacca of AC Milan have bagged 6 goals each and share the fourth spot on the Serie A table of top scorers. On-loan Roma winger Mohamad Salah has notched up six goals, equaling the feat of both Juventus youngster Paulo Dybala and Roma’s creative player Miralem Pjanic.

Higuain has been in good form this season and his performance has caught attention of several top European clubs that want to land him to end the problem in front of the goalmouth. However, the Argentina international has reportedly ascertained that he would love to be in Naples despite pouring interest from Premier League. Dybala was signed from Palermo this summer transfer window and has adapted himself well at Turin. According to reports, his performance has not gone unnoticed by other heavyweights in Europe and they are very much interested to land him.

It is less likely for the Bianconeri to allow him to move away in the mid of the season when they need service of a proven attacker in their frontline. Lazio striker Felipe Anderson has been linked to Premier League interest for several months. The Brazilian has scored 4 goals this season. Josip Ilicic of Fiorentina has also netted the same number of goals. Sampdoria player Roberto Soriano has also bagged 4 goals till date this campaign. Mauro Icardi of Inter Milan has failed to be in his peak form and managed to find the back of the net only three times.

Despite his not-so-good performance, he has invited attention from several elite sides, especially from the Premier League.

The 136 year old team nicknamed ‘the black cats’ have been carrying the Sunderland name with great pride an honor.

Sunderland in the Premier League

Sunderland A. F. C. is currently playing in the Barclay’s English Premier League which is not only England’s top league but also one of the best leagues in the world. They have won the F A cup twice, winning their first one in 1937 against Preston North End by 3 – 1 and the second in 1973 against Leeds United by 1 – 0. They also have the remarkable record of winning the First Division title which is now the Premier League a staggering six times.

Sunderland A. F. C. is in dire needs of a good striker especially after their last game against Watford. They are said to be going after 21 year old French striker Sebastian Haller. The 6’ 2’ French striker has been very impressive in recent times and has an asking price of 6 million which the Sunderland officials are not very eager to spend. Meanwhile Norwich is also negotiating for Haller and the two clubs are locked in a battle to acquire the French striker.
