Aston Villa Transfers: 5 Strikers To Target In January To Cover For Christian Benteke’s Loss Of Form

2. Graziano Pellè

Graziano Pelle has had a fantastic goalscoring record in the Eredivisie both this season and last season since signing for Feyenoord. The Italian forward originally joined the club on loan and subsequently scored 27 goals from 29 league games, making him the second highest scorer in the league last season. He signed a permanent deal with the club last January, but such is he is form means he might be on the move again in this window. This season he has kept to a similar goalscoring ration of 13 strikes from just 16 league games. The stats on him are certainly impressive this season with an average rating of 7.87 making him the second most consistent player after Brazilian Lucas Piazon. The 4.4 shots per game that he takes is only bettered by Memphis Depay and Alfred Finnbogason this season; he also manages 1.8 key passes per game showing that there is also a creative side to things with him. It€™s interesting to note that despite all this ability he has never made an appearance in the Italian national team, but he has played games at international youth level and for the Italian Olympic side during the 2008 Games.
