When it comes to the beautiful game, there’s nothing that gets better than watching those screamers hit the back of the net. Such golden moments are totally a courtesy of the target men who poach those goals out of nowhere.

In this Top 5 article, we will take a look back at the best strikers signed in this window:

Cleiton Silva

Cleiton Silva Striker

The Brazilian attacker made it to the headlines as Bengaluru FC signed him for the upcoming season. It turns out that BFC were keeping a track of him since a couple of seasons and it took no longer for them to rope him in as soon as his contract ended with the Thai top flight club Suphanburi.

Silva is a versatile winger who can double up as a striker owing to his skillful dribbling and pace. The Brazilian has been in Asia for more than half a dozen years donning the jerseys of the Thai and Chinese clubs.

Silva is no stranger to winning leagues and cups and quintessentially fits in the Blues philosophy. He has a record of scoring 141 goals in 193 appearances, making him the highest scorer in the Thai league.
