Tianjin Jinmen Tigers recently announced that they have successfully introduced 27-year-old Italian striker Vincent Kompagno and signed a transfer fee of only 100,000 euros (about 770,000 yuan). The 1.94-meter-tall center forward is expected to become a new generation of "Italian cannon" in the Chinese Super League because of his excellent physical condition and technical characteristics.
Kompagno has had a prolific footballing career, having played in Italy's fourth division and joining Fiorendino Sanhua in San Marino in 2018, scoring 37 goals and providing nine assists in two years. He then moved to Romania and joined Steaua Bucharest for €1.5 million, scoring 20 goals in the Romanian First Division last season and winning the league's silver boot. Although Vincent Kompagno's career with Steaua Bucharest was not as good as it could have been, his ability and potential were unquestionable.
The addition of Kompagno can't help but be reminiscent of Italian striker Pelle, who has shone in Chinese football. Kompagno is 1.94m tall and has excellent heading ability and ball handling skills, which makes him expected to be another Pelle in the new season of the Chinese Super League. Pelle's success in China lies not only in his goals, but also in his overall contribution and driving role in the team, and Vincent Kompagno is also expected to play a similar role in the Chinese Super League.
It is worth mentioning that Kompagno was worth as much as 2.3 million euros and scored 20 goals in the Romanian First Division last year and won the league silver boot. However, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers only brought him into the Chinese Super League for 100,000 euros, which is undoubtedly a great deal for the 27-year-old Konpanio, who is in his prime of play. The arrival of Kompagno not only added firepower to the Tianjin Tigers, but also brought more attention and expectations to the Chinese Super League.
The addition of Vincent Kompagno is not only an important reinforcement to the strength of the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, but also an excellent striker with international experience in the Chinese Super League. With the new season approaching, Kompagno is expected to shine on the Chinese Super League stage and surprise Chinese fans. Hopefully, he can continue Pelle's glory and become a top striker in the Chinese Super League. (Lao Qiu Super League Ball Review)
