Striker Labelled 'the New Lewandowski' Brushes Off Barcelona Link Amid Recent Transfer Speculation

After spending two years with Cracovia in the Ekstraklasa, Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek transferred to Serie A side Genoa for a reported 4m euros. In his time at the Polish club, the player often labelled 'the new Robert Lewandowksi' netted 32 times in 65 games, harnessing attention from top European clubs.

Piatek has started his Serie A venture in fine form, with eight goals in just four games. This puts him joint top goal scorer with Sampdoria's Gregoire Defrel. However, the Polish striker has been recording an impressive 68 minutes per goal, compared to Defrel's 113 minutes per goal.
