Much more effective on the wing, tbh.
If we sign Gervinho, we probably won't sign another striker - and will have a player who plays wide right in a 4-3-3 leading the line.
He has played a lot as a central striker, I've no doubt that he would do well in that position.
A lot? Plays wide right for Lille.
He starts wide right, but often moves in centrally. He's also played central for his country. He's got all the attributes to play as a central striker as well.
