Manchester United and Chelsea flop Radamel Falcao is the in-form striker in Europe this season.
The Colombian has scored 12 league goals for Monaco so far this campaign.
That’s more than any other player in the top five divisions of European football.
His goals have come at the rate of one every 55 minutes - faster than those of any player to have scored at least five goals in Europe’s elite leagues this season.
Juventus’ Paulo Dybala has the next best record with one every 56 minutes.
Lionel Messi has averaged a goal every 57 minutes, Ciro Immobile has averaged one every 70 minutes and Clinton N’Jie and Mario Balotelli have both averaged one every 72 minutes.

That’s marginally better than Sergio Aguero who has averaged one every 78 minutes.
