1. Mario Balotelli – AC Milan
Having secured a return to Italy back in January to his boyhood club, Mario Balotelli has quickly established himself as the main threat in Milan’s talented trio of strikers.
The Italian international has responded brilliantly to being placed at the centre of projects for both club and country, and remains one of the most gifted strikers in Italy, if not the world.
While Milan have continued their strategy of bringing in highly talented youngsters, Balotelli will be expected to lead the way both in goals and general build-up play.
Having delivered 12 goals in as many games last year, he will be determined to claim both individual and collective honours next season.
