2) Edin Dzeko (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
A Premier League title winner with Manchester City this season, and one of the star players for the champions towards the end of their successful campaign, Edin Dzeko has perhaps earned a reputation throughout his career for not quite being as accurate in front of goal as he should be. Despite good scoring records in the Bundesliga with his previous club Wolfsburg, Dzeko has sometimes lacked a little composure in the faster pace of the English game, and has been noted for missing easy chances all too often. The Bosnian international certainly benefits from a great deal of quality service from his world class team-mates at the Etihad Stadium, but he has not been as reliable a performer for his national side at this summer’s World Cup, scoring just one goal from a fairly high total of 13 attempts – an average of 4.3 shots per game as his side went out in the group stages of the competition.
