I think we should try and persuade Atlético Madrid to loan us Borja Bastón (real name Borja González), currently at Eibar in Spain. He's been loaned out by Atlético for the past five seasons, last season he scored 22 for Zaragoza in the Spanish second tier and this season has so far scored 17 for lowly Eibar in the top division. He is currently valued at £3-4 million but Atlético probably will want to hold on to him so may be willing to give him some Premiership experience, as they already have more strikers than they know what to do with, what with Vietto, Griezman, Fernando Torres, Correa, etc.
I doubt they would sell him (in spite of being on loan for five years). However, his contract is up for renewal this summer and Atlético are not allowed to buy any new players for the next two years, so will be keen to renew Bastón's contract, but Bastón can say to Atlético Madrid "up yours" if he wants - and would be a free agent to come to us or anyone else. This is unlikely, though, what with Atlético being his childhood team, and he is more likely to squeeze out of Atlético Madrid a really good contract, because there's nothing in the rules to say that Atlético can't improve existing contracts over the next two years.
Which of course will mean that he'll be available to go on loan again, unless Atlético really feel he is ready for the first team ahead of their other existing stars.
Definitely one to keep an eye on, and he already plays in the red and blue of Eibar!
