    If we are looking to bring in a similar profile to Jesus,Lautaro would be my pick.I watch a fair bit of Serie A on the side and I have been really impressed with him in the last 18 months or so.Some strikers step up their game around 25-27 and he seems to be in that phase and I wouldn’t be surprised if Madrid or even Chelsea snap him up next year.

    He would offer the same kind of pressing,hold up play and defensive contributions as Jesus.His passing and dribbling may not be as good as Jesus,but its still good enough.I also rate his finishing higher than Jesus.He also has a bullet header and a very good shot from range.

    Bringing in Lautaro would mean Jesus having to play out wide when the two of them play together (when one of Sakanelli is rotated/rested) which I don’t have a problem with,( I actually rate Jesus as wide player very highly)but I’m not sure something Jesus would be fond of( remember seeing something about him wanting to play through the middle as his reason for moving here).

    He will have 2 years left on his contract come the end of the season and he could be tempted by a move to the EPL.

    I am not an expert by any means and I have no stats to back up my claim,but purely from watching him play for the last couple of years,I can see him take the next step in the near future.He is already very good( think he has scored 20+ in the last 2 years),but I genuinely believe he is going to become even better very soon.

      I would say him and Jesus have similarities

      Martinez has been the 3rd best striker since the world cup
