Francisco Portillo (CAM)
Another CAM that would fit nicely into Big Sam’s lone striker policy, is Malaga’s Francisco Portillo. The 24-year-old is highly rated in La Liga for his excellent play making abilities, iscapable of holding the ball up and threading through key passes.
Mauro Zarate was reportedly unhappy by being a lone striker durning the Schalke Cup and so this kind of support is vital for Mauro and other strikers alike to perform to the best of their abilities.
Furthermore he is great value for money, with a market value of between £2m and £5m. And, at the age of 24, Portillo is at the height of his playing career.
