Football Manager 2017: 20 Essential Signings You Should Always Make

7. Mauro Icardi

Age: 23

Club: Inter Milan

Position: ST (C)

Approx. Cost: £26m

Argentinian controversy-magnet Mauro Icardi might be out of your reach at the start of the game, but he always becomes upset when Inter inevitably fail to win Serie A. Summer 2017 usually sees him move abroad to an Arsenal or PSG, but you may be able to nudge him through the door a little earlier with some sharp negotiations.

Either way, you'll be getting a natural goalscorer who excels as a fox in the box, but isn't out of his depth in link-up play either. Provide him with the right service, and Icardi will score bucketloads.
