Probably surplus to requirements at AC Milan given their newfound fortunes. All i know about him is he is very very very quick

Hardly one goal there that Hemed would likely have scored (apart from the cut-back to an empty net)

You don't watch a lot of football do you?

Top scorer in Serie B in 2015/16, transferred for c. £8mill and a 5-year deal with AC Milan a year ago, bagged 8 goals in Serie A. This all sounds very promising.

serie A is a very crap standard these days. AC Milan would probably finish around lower mid table in the Prem.

Just asked my Italian, Parma based colleague* about him. He came back with this:

"Perfect for your second league or below. All heart poor skills."

*He supports Juve but I think he knows his stuff

I enjoyed the largely unnecessary overhead kick. Cool head, clinical, and decent dollop of Italian flair. I'm in

Goals @ 2.05, 4.37 & 7.28
Assist (sort of ) @ 3.50

Looks to love a bicycle kick. Poor opponents but one to perhaps get a little excited about.

Seems a bit surprising though. He was regular last year.

I guess the price might be an issue. Also other EPL teams having a sniff.

Looks like he has class to me. 2 very cool finishes. The headed goal was very Ashley Barnes. I think this could be a really good signing. He could suit the Prem very well.

Could be agent talk.

Apparently Atlanta are in for him at about 20 million. Speculated that personal terms are agreed.

So let me get this straight........ he's a FULL ITALIAN International? And people think he's average or a second division player? Mental!

I vaguely remember an article about this when he was with us, I'm sure he said he was born to Italian parents and as such considered himself to be Italian, despite his Spanish connections.

The video I saw (different form above) made him look like Skalak with a trapping ability worse than Hemed and exclusively left footed like Knockaert/March and not that fast either. Unimpressed.
