Barcelona were recently linked with Arthur Cabral as an option up front. The brazilian hitman could cost around 15 million.
Something which Barcelona have great problems in paying, gone are the days when that idiot Bartomeu used to spend 30 million on players not good enough for Barcelona B.
However, I believe it is a risk worth taking rather than bringing in some old striker like Cavani. Firsty, looking a bit at his profile, Cabral is an all round number 9.
He has decent pace, he is really strong, he is a good presser, has decent link up and can hold up the ball and is very good aerially too. If we compare him with Lewandowski, there arent many differences.
As you can see, they are basically the same players, with Cabral being better Aerially and pressing wise and Lewandoswki edging it in Passing Accuraccy.
Cabral has banged in 25 goals and 8 assists in just 25 games this season and altough it is in the Swiss League, it still is a really good record.
Cabral has also been targetted by West Ham and the mighty Newcastle United, and with just 2 weeks to go till the January transfer market, Barcelona will have to act quick.
We just hope its not one of those cases where will miss out on players for cheap as they play in smaller leagues and then try to sign them for three times the price.
15 million is a lot for Barcelona right now but it certainly is a Risk worth taking.
