There's a few things that have been mentioned already which I think are important here. First, Zohore is someone who was the youngest ever debutant in senior top flight Danish football and was playing Champions League football at 16 in the Camp Nou and, at 17, at Stamford Bridge - he also had trials with Chelsea and Inter Milan around that time.

So, I think it's fair to say that he was rated very, very highly when he started playing in senior football. Of course, there are plenty of players who were thought to have the world at their feet as teenagers who find fulfilling a measure of the hype they attract a problem they cannot solve (this applies in some ways to our new signing Loic Damour up to now) and was definitely the case with Zohore for a five year period.

However, even during his "glorified parks player" phase, there was the very occasional performance for City (notably at 15/16 Champions Burnley for one) which suggested we had a player who just might be capable of making a real impact at Championship level. Yes, he's not done it that often yet, but there were occasions once he had started scoring regularly when he was virtually unplayable last season.

The game I remember most was Ipswich when the visitors started with three tough and experienced centrebacks at this level facing a City team where Zohore was playing the lone front man role. Although his team were level at 1-1 at the interval, Mick McCarthy had seen enough to take one of them off after forty five minutes, but it made no difference, because by the end Zohore had run the remaining centrebacks ragged and Ipswich left grateful to have only lost 3-1 - it's hard to be really objective when it's one of your teams players involved, but I cannot remember seeing a more effective target man performance last season in our division than that one.

Based on performances like that and the ones against Fulham, Wolves and at Huddersfield, City are right to say that it it would need a bid of £15 million before they contemplated selling. If we were able to get £20 million in late August for Zohore from a desperate Premier League club, you'd like to think that much of it would be made available for new players, but it needs to be borne in mind that these days in the Championship paying even eight figures for a striker is no guarantee that we'd get someone who could offer what Zohore at his best can - in fact, I'd be inclined to leave the domestic market alone unless we were looking at a very good quality loan from a Premier League club when it came to replacing Zohore.
