Veteran Lazio striker Miroslav Klose has the
best shot-to-goal ratio in Europe's five major
leagues this season, a conducted study can
reveal.
.

The study took the current five top scorers
from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A,
Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga, and compared the
number of shots they have had in their
respective domestic leagues to the number of
times they have found the back of the net.
.

Klose was the most efficient, converting 10
goals from his 31 shots at a success rate of
32.26 per cent. Nice forward Dario Cvitanich
comes in second with the same number of
goals arriving from just one more effort on
goal, while Atletico Madrid's Radamel Falcao
takes third place with 17 goals from 58
attempts.

Lionel Messi was only down in fourth, and it's
no huge surprise to find Cristiano Ronaldo way
behind with a success rate of just 11.59%.
Neither is it much of a shock to discover that
the Portugal international tops the charts for
shots taken, having had an unrivalled 138
attempts in his 18 La Liga outings thus far.
.

Just behind him in that regard is Liverpool's
Luis Suarez, who took 123 shots to arrive at
his impressive tally of 15 Premier League
goals.
.

The Premier League's top scorer Robin van
Persie failed to make the Top 10, with a strike-
rate of 21.62%, as did the Bundesliga's top
marksmen sharpshooter Stefan Kiessling on
19.35%.
