How do you determine whether a player is a prominent goal scorer? A straight forward answer would be : “By counting the number of goals he scored”. But how do you check if he is efficient or consistent? Well, this is simple too; we see the number of shots he had and check how many of those shots he converted into goals.
So we’ve had a look at the top most efficient marksmen from the top 5 leagues in Europe : EPL, La Liga, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Seri A and made a list of strikers. Note that these strikers may or may not be the leading scorers in their respective leagues.
| NAME | SHOTS | GOALS | RATE |
| Klose | 31 | 10 | 32.26% |
| Cvitanich | 32 | 10 | 31.2% |
| Falcao | 58 | 17 | 29.31% |
| Messi | 94 | 27 | 28.4% |
| Szalai | 33 | 9 | 27.27% |
| Ibisevic | 37 | 10 | 27.02% |
| Aduriz | 43 | 11 | 25.58% |
| Castro | 42 | 10 | 23.8% |
| Cavani | 68 | 16 | 23.53% |
| Ibrahimovic | 82 | 18 | 21.9% |
So, Miroslav Klose is the best finisher in Europe – the Lazio hitman has a better shot-to-goal ratio than Messi, Ronaldo & Van Persie.
The Germany legend is the most efficient elite striker from the Continent’s five major leagues this season.
