Kike looks like a fine acquisition…

Imagine Danny Graham but with more mobility, intelligence and an overwhelming motivation to fiercely impact English football. Karanka’s showpiece signing from Real Murcia possesses all the right attributes to succeed in the Championship. He looks prepared, going by his pre-season performances, and could be a strong shout for top goal scorer this season. A former Spain under-20 international, Kike notched 24 goals in the Spanish second division last season with Real Murcia supporters citing him as the main reason for their high positioning.

For £3.5 million Kike has not come cheap. Considering the current inflation of price tags in world football the fact that Karanka has worked with Kike before is a major plus point in regards to his price tag.

Its now time for Kike to prove his mercurial talents in a much more physical establishment compared to Spain. Known for his will to run and get in behind defenders, Kike could be the target man that Middlesbrough have sought after for the duration of their time in the Championship.
