This Julian Alvarez of River Plate who we're being linked with looks the business, shades of Coutihno about him

Yeah seen the same report Ally, it sounds pretty genuine as well.
Only 21, and is very well thought of, let's wait and see.

Agent Martinez on the case again? 🤔 while he's at it see if he can get their No10 interested, he looks OK from his YouTube highlights 😁.

I think we should take a punt on the kid, last time we had a sniff of buying someone from River Plate was Falcao for £2M, but Heskey for £3M instead was a much better deal 🙄

They only slight downside is Alverez is another player favouring the right flank. Ideally, I would prefer someone for the other wing.

Despite El Ghazi’s goal return last season, I remain unconvinced. His contributions are too sporadic for a first team performer in a side aspiring to be a top third regular year in, year out.

Alvarez is apparently very adept at playing centre forward as well, so could be a good replacement/ competition for Ollie, who used to be a winger himself.
And yes, very witty Moosey boy, as we’ve come to expect 😁.

Transfermarkt lists his main position on the right, but the reports I’ve read suggest he prefers a more central role, a second striker type. Looks an excellent prospect and with a fair South American contingent at the club, I’m sure he’d settle. Let’s hope!

Edd, what are the rules and regulations regarding foreign players in the Prem especially 3 from the same country?

{Ed002's Note - There are no specific rules - they need a Work Permit.}

Perhaps less likely, but Traore has a fair record playing through the centre. He is a player that can pull off the exquisite at times, but lacks a bit of consistency.

I just checked back on Alvarez, as I had also seen reference to him playing through the centre as an option. At only 5’7’’, I think it would more likely that role would be as a second striker/ no. 10, rather than centre forward.
