Israeli ace Eran eclipsing CSL's biggest earners

Guangzhou R&F getting most from bargain Zahavi

SHANGHAI - Chinese clubs made headlines by shelling out millions for the likes of strikers Carlos Tevez, Hulk and Alexandre Pato, but bargain-priced Israeli Eran Zahavi is outgunning them all at the top of the Super League scoring charts.

Zahavi's feat in smashing 23 CSL goals in 22 starts this season is all the more remarkable when you consider that he plays for a wildly inconsistent Guangzhou R&F side that sits sixth in the 16-team standings.
