Nemanja Nikolic is no stranger to setting scoring records. He did so in his first seasons in the Hungarian and Polish leagues, and has now set his sights on doing the same in MLS.

Nikolic currently leads the league with 16 goals in 19 matches, and his production up front has taken the league by storm. The in-form and confident striker, who is nine tallies away from tying the long-standing record, has also been a key ingredient in the Chicago Fire enjoying a resurgence in the Eastern Conference after years in the basement.
