Not sure if we should sign him or not, but I would add that the leading teams across Europe have multiple attacking options and almost always have one or two high-quality attacking players on the bench. They rotate their players in and out of the starting lineup, in part I imagine to keep them fresh, but also to help ensure that you have players in relatively good form on the pitch at all times. It costs more, sure, but this is part of continually asking questions of the opposition. If we want to compete on multiple fronts, we have to look for this kind of depth. We also have to realize that INJURIES WILL HAPPEN. You can't predict them, but every team in the Premier League has had to deal with their share, not just us. By the time the season ends, especially with Euro competition included, all of the players rotated in and out should have the chance to play in plenty of matches.
In Klopp's system, the forward roles are pretty interchangeable, so if this is a guy can be moved around a lot, maybe it is a check in his box.
