So far, what a signing. Exactly what we needed. And either him or his wife aren't talking much (in the media) so they can't even stir any shit.
He has been hardworking on the pitch, lethal in front of goal and had very reliable touches and passes despite the very few balls he gets in a match. His typical game is like : around 20 balls received, 1 or 2 goals and all his passes are clean and good.
It is not at all a ball playing striker though, so he will never be as good as a prime Suarez, Firmino, even Ibrahimovic. He has the "old 9" profile but he is not useless if he receives a ball out of the box either. It does help that around him he has some very good technician such as Di Maria who is on fire with all his assists, Mbappé who has another profile, Verratti and Neymar when he will get back from injury.
