The guy loves to shimmy around the keeper doesn't he. Can see him either fucking up a bunch of chances, or getting a few pens doing that

Would it be accurate to say Diallo is of the same mould as Osimhen?

Tall, strong, gangly but quick.

As I suggested in another thread, Levy/Hitchens stated that the kind of striker Jose wanted isnt easy to find. Osimhen & Diallo are not your typical strikers.

Drogba, Adebayor were not necessarily the best goal scorers but were powerful and unplayable on their day, I'm not suggesting Diallo can match that, but Jose does seem to like that kind of profile.

He’s a good player. Lit up Ligue 2 and helped newly promoted Metz stay afloat in ligue 1. He’s big and tall yet quick. He is clinical with his right, and he is great in the air scoring headers and holding the ball up. Decent link up player as well. Yes it’s ligue 1, but he’s good. Bonus: he bullied saliba when Metz played st etienne

Would rather have Deeney! If we’re going to have one back up to Kane I’d rather it was less of a gamble.

Btw I don’t want Deeney

fack, i mean at this point for me, it's like it's 2am in the bar im trashed and ill take just about anything home at this point. I just want a warm body at back up striker, I don't care who it is, just someone to help alleviate the game time Kane gets

Alistair Gold seems to think Diallo is quite realistic option. His round up was Wilson, getting too expensive considering injuries, Milik too dear and not that keen to come, Watkins, probably too dear, Costa, straight No, Wood, we're not interested. Diallo we like and could probably get quite easily.

I imagine we’ll sign Diallo if/when Aurier and/or Foyth leave. Watkins is probably a consideration in case we aren’t able free up a foreign player spot.
