Perhaps not a stand-out striker but certainly one capable of keeping Arsenal’s goal tally ticking over for a season or two, Carlos Bacca bagged 49 goals in 105 appearances during his two years with Sevilla, firing them to consecutive Europa League titles.
Likewise, the Colombian international is famed for his directness, as a particularly quick and stocky striker, whose unorthodox individual style could have really flourished in the Arsenal starting Xi.
Aged 28 and having spent much of his career in South American and Belgian top flights, there’s no question that Bacca represents a bit of a punt.
But at £22million, his departure fee from Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, it was a punt AC Milan were willing to take. He’s already paid the Serie A outfit back somewhat, netting in a 2-1 win over Empoli last weekend.
