Santiago Gimenez remains without a goal in the league so far, and Massimiliano Allegri is hoping for a striker in January.
He certainly has no shortage of commitment and sacrifice, but the main task of a centre-forward is to score, and so far Gimenez has only done so once in the Coppa Italia. In Serie A, however, the Mexican has yet to score after eight games, and this is becoming a significant problem.
Another striker needed?
This morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) writes that Rafael Leao has found his feet in recent matches, scoring three goals in his last three league games. Gimenez, however, continues to struggle and is without a goal in the league.
Christopher Nkunku, like the Mexican, has only scored once in the Coppa Italia so far, while he too is yet to score in Serie A. The Frenchman has played less than the Mexican, but if two out of four strikers are still scoreless in the league at the end of October, it’s a significant problem for Milan.
It’s clear that if things continue as they are, Allegri expects a reinforcement in the attacking department during the next winter transfer window , a key player to stay ahead in the Scudetto race.
While it’s true that the crucial part of the season begins in March, it’s now that the foundations are laid to reach a good position in January and February.
