As reported by the envoy of Milannews.it , a few moments ago Lucas Ocampos arrived at the clinic La Madonnina in Milan where he will perform the medical examination prior to travel to Casa Milan to sign the contract that will tie him to the club for six months via Aldo Rossi. Here are the first words by Argentina: "I'm happy to be here, I will try to do my best."
He's the complete package guys.
He's the complete package guys.
The 17 year old has been linked for a number of top clubs including Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Milan, Inter and Manchester United all hoping to lure the youngster away. After a blazing start to his River career, Ocampos revealed his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo and pundits have linked the Argentine’s style of play to CR7.
HE’S A BIT LIKE: CRISTIANO RONALDO
There aren’t many young players these days that are as technically gifted and wholesome as Ocampos.
Ocampos’ physicality and ability to propect the ball make him closer to a more complete winger. His defensive contributions and tacking are traits that cannot be ignored.
Like the archetypal South American, Ocampos exhibits supreme technique and has a wonderful first touch and superb dribbling ability with both feet. His balance in this regard makes him a very elusive player given that he feints to go either way and can pop up on either flank.
At six foot two inches (187 cm) the former centre-forward provides an aerial presence in the box and has shown this throughout his career with his heading ability and threat when attacking crosses from the opposite wing. His strength and physicality also make him a more robust wide player and the 20-year-old is unafraid to track back and tackle.
