(Reuters) - While Oscar broke transfer records and Carlos Tevez pocketed a bumper pay deal, it is little-known Eran Zahavi who has emerged the goalscorer supreme in this season's Chinese Super League.

Oscar traded life in the English Premier League for Shanghai SIPG in an Asian record transfer deal of 60 million euros (53.28 million pounds) while Tevez secured a reported salary of $775,000 per week for one final fling with Shanghai Shenhua.
