Laurent Depoitre

Exactly who I was comparing him too. Like Pelle, for a big guy he does get about. That combined with the fact that Poch played with Lambert and Osvaldo as his #9's and I can see this being a serious candidate for signing. He would occupy defenders and create space for others. Don't see it as far-fetched to think Kane can play off of him as well. Would also give our wide men reasons to cross the ball more if/when the opportunity arrives, not that Kane is any slouch in the air (right Scum? )

Great minds think alike!

Or, fools thoughts seldom differ ;-)

Thanks, both, for your thoughts on him, I've never seen him play but a Benteke/Pelle hybrid sounds wonderful and he's a good age to come in and help our other players progress. At 27, he also knows this is the biggest club he'll ever play for so he'd be motivated.
