Of course, there is a certain Norwegian number nine with the world at his feet who is and will be the talk of the town when it comes to the transfer market for a few windows to come, like a stretched out Netflix series, the Erling Haaland saga will go on as he is paraded to elite club after elite club by his super-duper agent Mino Raiola.

There are however apt alternatives for clubs stricken by the COVID-19 pandemic, one of which has emerged from Serie A this year at Fiorentina, leading the line is Serbian Dušan Vlahović. Taken from Partizan Belgrade where he made his debut at the paltry age of 16 becoming Partizan’s youngest ever player, La Viola quickly snapped up the Balkan prospect in 2018.

After a year of getting used to a move to a big club in one of Europe's top five leagues at such a young age and garnering somewhat of a reputation of squandering too many chances, Vlahović is patently blossoming with 21 goals in the league this year, cementing his place as the go-to man in Fiorentina’s attack.
