Dragon this morning when asked again if it's Daka:

It’s not and I keep seeing Dakas name everywhere but what concerns me is we a million per cent bid for Watkins so if he’s got that wrong (Ally) how good is his info

the other player is very similar to Daka in age and appearance we would be buying insane potential

I'm quite happy about this, if it's still an unknown player then I feel like there is more chance of it happening.

We do our best business in the shadows.

Yep, from dragons comments I’d say Leao, especially given Mendes is his agent.
He doesn’t seem to quite have Dana’s output, albeit Serie A is obviously a tougher league.

This isn’t what I want to hear, so ...

In all seriousness, what other players are out there “very similar in age and appearance, with insane potential”?

Daka would be the signing the club needs.

I feel we need a signing the club can be excited about. Just like Sonny, Bergwijn and even Ndombele of which thats not quite worked out.

He's certainly our profile but these deals are so difficult to do..

Take everything he says with a mountain of salt and it’ll be much easier. He says we’re signing 2 strikers then literally an hour later we’re signing no one. Honestly, he’s someone who probably should be left to player threads only for now until he either a) is verified or b) stops tremendously oversharing and overreacting.

I might be that Ally is saying what the club want him to say regarding Watkins and not bidding for him.

I know Daka is definitely 1 of 3 players that I am aware of, that we are very interested in, but thats all I know. Here is a little high level stat report on him.

Patson Daka (21) – Forward – RB Salzburg

  • Although it is the Austrian league, he has scored 24 goals in 34 games, all from open play. That is an average of 1.2 goals per 90 minutes that he plays, all non-penalties higher than all Malen, Firmino, G.Jesus, Mbappe and ilk of his age group
  • Most of the goals he has scored are within the penalty area (22) which equals top Prem goal scorer Jamie Vardy (22) and he has a conversion rate of 29% that is almost double when compared to G.Jesus (17%) and Firmino (12%) and on par with to P-E. Aubameyang and Vardy
  • With a shooting accuracy of 62%, this betters all of Aguero (51%), Firmino (55%), Ings (57%), to P-E. Aubameyang (59%), and G. Jesus (59%). Donyell Malen (65%) and Jamie Vardy (63%) only better this.
  • On average, Daka has 2.5 shots on target per game equalled to Donyell Malen, versus his next competition from Premier League Aguero with 1.8 average per game
  • Conversion ratio of 29% is only beaten by P-E. Aubameyang on 30%, and Vardy (33%) however has a higher conversion rate of almost double to Firmino (12%) and G. Jesus (17%)
  • In comparison to Premier League top goalscorers (Vardy, Aubameyang, Ings), Daka has a joint top Aerial duals successfully won with Vardy at 35%
** Daka to me looks like a younger version of Drogba, with pace, directness and a clinical finisher inside the box. I believe he would easily be attainable for around £20 million

Can't remember which team but I thought someone already had a 20m bid rejected this window.

No way will it be 20m, more likely be double that.
