Huge fees have been laid out for Moises Caicedo (inset, top), Nicolas Jackson (inset, bottom), Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku and Axel Disasi but none of those are an out-and-out striker – possibly the hardest position of all to come in and meet expectations.

Nevertheless, Hasselbaink did just that when he joined Chelsea in 2000 for £15m.
