Santos signing Lautaro Díaz goes four months without scoring a goal | OneFootball

Santos took advantage of the transfer window to strengthen the squad. For the attack, Lautaro Díaz arrived on loan from Cruzeiro. However, the forward is experiencing a goal drought.

The last time the 27-year-old player found the back of the net was on May 7, exactly four months ago. On that occasion, he secured a 1-1 draw for Cruzeiro against Mushuc Runa in the South American tournament.

Since then, Lautaro has played six more times. The Argentine started in two of these matches. In the other four, he was brought on late in the second half.

The forward lost significant ground with Leonardo Jardim at Raposa, which led to his loan to Santos. Throughout the entire season, he has participated in 18 matches and scored two goals.

Perfect match?

Santos, by the way, is going through a tough time when it comes to strikers. Tiquinho Soares is in a goal drought of just over four months, Deivid Washington, who also hadn't scored for a while, was sent back to Chelsea, and Luca Meirelles was sold to Shakhtar Donetsk.

Now, therefore, Lautaro Díaz hopes that the change of scenery will help him overcome his bad phase. Santos, in turn, hopes that the new signing will boost the attack.
