🔍 Looking for another striker, Scaloni faces a big dilemma | OneFootball

Without a doubt, if there’s one position that is more than covered, it’s the center forward. Lautaro Martínez and Julián Álvarez are two call-ups that everyone knows by heart.

However, Lionel Scaloni is still searching for a third 'number 9'. Someone who has the traditional characteristics of that position: great physical presence and a great finisher. For now, he’s far from finding one. He has already called up Taty Castellanos and Santi Castro, but neither convinced him.

The new bet goes by the name of "Flaco" López, Palmeiras’ top scorer. With Verdao, he’s having a great Copa Libertadores with five goals in five matches. Now, we’ll have to see if he’s up to the level of the national team.
