He is a gamble, unquestionably. But the striker market has never been drier I don’t think. All the top strikers that are surefire hits are all taken by the big clubs. Unless by some miracle Harry gets a sudden pining for home, we’re shopping in that second or third tier of strikers for now, where you are gambling unfortunately.
The other realistic options are Vlahovic, Moise Kean, Toney & Igor Thiago. They’re all every bit the gamble that Aghehowa is, and a lot less exciting. At least with Aghehowa, he’s got a bit of the unknown about him, he’s only 21, is scoring a barrowload of goals (in the same league as Gyokeres, granted) , and you can see the vision in terms of his physicality, pace and power. Just got to hope we can refine his game, particularly his touch, but there is enough else there to work with.
