Former Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-gyu is among Europe's elite for a key statistic.
The South Korean departed Glasgow's east end last summer, joining Belgian top-flight side Genk on a permanent basis.
Oh has thrived since moving to mainland Europe, scoring 12 goals in 33 appearances, the same number of strikes he managed in 47 games for Celtic.

He added two to his tally at the weekend as Genk defeated Gent by four goals to nil to move four points clear at the top of the First Division A with nine games to go.
Oh's brace on Sunday came off the bench and brought his tally of goals he has netted since coming on as a substitute in games for the season to eight. That is, alongside Alexander Sorloth of Atletico Madrid, the most of any player across Europe's top-eight leagues this campaign.
The 23-year-old's impactful appearances have him ahead of players like Pedro and Barcelona's Ferran Torres:

Oh joined Celtic under Ange Postecoglou but never gained any real consistency despite a few runs of starts.
His fellow countryman, Yang Hyun-jun, remains at the club and has come on leaps and bounds in recent months.
Oh wants to see him continually succeed in green and white: "I'm proud," he said.
"I lived with Yang Hyun-Jun at Celtic.
“I know how hard it has been. It won't be easy. However, he overcame all this and showed competitiveness. I'm very proud.
“I really want to say to Hyun-Jun, 'You're doing a good job.’”
