Summary

Mateo Bajamich is one of those rare hidden gems, he doesn’t look like much but with decent potential and the right club can develop into a goal machine.

£3.2 million is cheap for a potentially elite striker and at 19 years old Bajamich has a nice mix of current ability and growth. In my test save the Argentine developed 18 off the ball, 17 anticipation, 16 technique, finishing and heading complimented by good pace, acceleration and jumping reach.

Bajamich is a poacher by trade but enjoys a great attribute mix and all round game. He enjoyed a cracking career throughout my test save averaging a goal every other game in Italy, Argentina and Germany for the likes of Udinese, Boca Juniors and Bayern Munich.
