Lucas Ocampos, the master of illusion

By now, everyone should question whether Lucas Ocampos is a hypnotist that just fools people into signing him. The Argentine has bounced from a big money signing in Monaco, to a surprise move to Marseille, then a loan move to Genoa that then turned into a jump to AC Milan.

His move to Serie A started okay, scoring three goals in 17 games, but what possessed the Rossoneri to sign him up seems alien to most. Despite being a replacement for Mbaye Niang, he started just four games, appearing in another eight but managed to put up one assist in that time with zero goals.

He returns to L’OM this summer again looking for his next club to cast a spell on. Hopefully this time someone will actually look at some reports on him and have actually watched him play, rather than see the cash Monaco stumped up for him as a teenager when they were still in Ligue 2.
