The Brazilian has been around for some time, after leaving Internacional for Serie A in 2007. Pato burst on to the scene, his pace and deadly eye for goal proving an electric combination in his first few months at San Siro.

He suffered his fair share of injury problems during the 2009-10 season and doesn’t appear to be at the forefront of Brazil coach Dunga’s plans. But at such a tender age, there is still plenty of time for ‘The Duck’ to hit his stride and fulfil the potential that convinced Milan to spend big on him in 2007.
