I would look more at total goal's scored as opposed to conversion rate. According to Wiki over the last 3 seasons for Inter he has 51 goals in 101 games. Is that a significant upgrade on what we have? Cant say I've seen enough of him to pass judgement.
Mauro Icardi would be an excellent signing for us, pacey and good goal instincts
Italian Serie A - Top scorers
Goals Played Player
30 31 Gonzalo Higuaín
15 29 Mauro Icardi
15 33 Carlos Bacca
14 30 Paulo Dybala
Higuain has 30 in 31 games.
Sign him up.

Icardi scored more goals last season. 27 in all comps. Only 23.
I can't see us moving for Higuain. The price will be crazy. We messed up not paying £25m for him in 2013.
That's my thinking, plus whilst i don't have any problem us paying a premium for a player at their peak....i think as a younger player Icardi will only get betterOriginally Posted by Power_n_Glory
Yep. If we're going to invest, it's wise to go with a young player at this point.
Yeah agree on Icardi, very good player, he's not been as prolific this season but I'm still high on him. He would cost a fair bit though, whether Wenger is prepared to pay the fee is the question.
I would rather sign Griezmann to play alongside Welbeck and Sanchez. I like Welbeck and I think he is a good fit for the team, also thinking we need a world class striker to win the league. Look at Spurs and Leicester neither have world class strikers. United, Chelsea, Liverpool. The only team with top drawer striker is City.
We need to make ourselves harder to beat, another CB and another energetic tackler CM. Plus Griezmann.
The problem is that it doesn't matter who we sign as we wont win the league next season. Chelsea and City will be under new management so players will be out to impress plus there will be investment in the squads. United could have a new manager plus they will spend big as well. Liverpool need to invest but they have Klopp who seems to be dragging Liverpool in the right direction although slowly. I wonder if Pochetino will go down the Wenger route of saying he has a young team and one more experience is like a new signing.
No chance we can get Griezmann.

And that's the problem. We still can't compete at the top level even after all the pain and nonsense since the stadium project kicked off. When the big clubs all start identifying their targets it represents a list of can't gets for us. It's not just the money, it's the intent. Crazy shit like Neymar for £100mill shouldn't even be considered, but players like Vidal were up for grabs for reasonable fees and we never got a sniff, never lifted a finger.
We need something to happen at this club to announce we are finally in the game.
