The Premier League may only be seven games old, but there are already signs of which players we may see at the top of the goal-scoring charts come the end of the campaign.
Bryan Mbeumo and Cole Palmer have once again been among the goals, but one striker has particularly impressed former Premier League forward Brian Deane.
The man who scored the first-ever Premier League goal, spoke exclusively to DAZN via the home of new Danish casinos, and singled out Aston Villa's super sub for his impact this season.
"I like the lad at Aston Villa, Jhon Duran - he looks a top, top player," Deane said.
"I like the fact that he wants the ball on the half-turn, he is quick and wants the ball in behind, and he’s not afraid to shoot from anywhere.
"I think we are losing players in the game who aren’t afraid to have a shot, and he’s got great technique. We’ve seen him put one in with his right and the one with his left, over Neuer from way out as well as the other one from 30 yards."

Duran may be in top form, but it's the same name at the top of the charts, and Deane admits you can't help be a fan of Manchester City's goal machine.
Adding: "You can’t not be impressed by Erling Haaland; he’s started the season on fire, and I’m a massive fan.
"He can do it all. He is such a good player, and just has everything, and I like that he is looking a bit more aggressive now as well.
"I think there were times in the last season when big centre-backs tried to bully him, but he’s standing up for himself, which is great and only makes him even more frightening.
"When you talk about throwbacks and the era that I played in the 90s, you had to have that element to your game. Erling has two good feet, good in the air and quick. He has it all!"
