Cedric Bakambu is holding his own just fine as far as La Liga scoring goes so far this season. The Democratic Republic of Congo international has hit eight in eight, the sort of average one might expect from the 'extraterrestrials' (not to be bested, Lionel Messi has himself hit 10, maintaining his primacy as a superior life form), and a total which accounts for just over half of Villarreal's league total.

It would not be a stretch to consider him Africa's hottest striker just now, aside the consistently prolific Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
