Robert Lewandowski is undoubtedly one of the best players in football right now. The Polish striker who plays for Bayern Munich has been a goal scoring machine for a while and is arguably the biggest driving force of Bayern’s offense.

Scoring a whooping 41 goals in just 29 games, Lewandowski decimated the competition and comfortably won the European Golden boot last season. Given the form the Polish striker is in, his value certainly is at an all-time high, despite his age.
