Strikers from the Dutch and Portuguese leagues always need to be taken as a huge risk. For every Suarez there's an afonso alves.

Although I am struggling to think of a successful striker coming from the Portuguese league

Had a look and it really is slim pickings.

Falcao is probably the only one.

Exactly

Agreed. Of all the strikers on the market, he is the one I want Arsenal to buy. He's 27 so arguably at his peak and will decline soon. He's never played in this league. 50% of his goals last season were penalties (will he take over from Saka on pens?). He looks to struggle against physically imposing CBs.

If they got a Sesko, they'd have someone who might grow and develop into a top player but they are signing someone who is already at his ceiling.

Would love it if this were to be proved accurate.

Even then did he go direct to england from Portugal? Cut his teeth at athletico or monaco didn't he?

Technically was at athletico
