When Espanyol signed striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo from Bologna in the winter of 2010, eyebrows were raised. Few fans of the Barcelona-based side had heard of the forward, and when they sought more information on their club’s new recruit, they were left underwhelmed. But coach Mauricio Pochettino spoke glowingly of his signing and just 18 months later, the player is attracting the attention of clubs across the continent, including Inter, Juventus, Manchester City, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid. Quite a revival; so how did it happen?
He would be a good signing for us.
