Rolando Blackburn arrives from Saprissa in Costa Rica and will reinforce Cristal in the forward position. How well does he play? Check out his best plays here.

Motives to get excited about

There are reasons to get excited. Sporting Cristal will announce in the next few hours the signing of Panamanian player Rolando Blackburn, who will join the team as the new striker. The team needs a goal-scoring forward and this could be the start of a new era in their offensive zone.

However, how well does the Panamanian player perform? His track record is quite encouraging: in his last season at Deportivo Saprissa, he scored 8 goals. However, his best campaign was playing for Comunicaciones in Guatemala, where he scored 24 goals during the 2014/2015 season.

Rodrigo Blackburn is a striker who stands 1.80 meters tall and plays in the front line. He can also play on the wings, but his comfort zone is the penalty area. He has good aerial skills and usually accompanies all attacks coming from the sides. This could fit in well with Sporting Cristal, a team that works well with Gabriel Costa and Ray Sandoval on the wings to deliver crosses.

Rodrigo Blackburn also knows what it's like to represent his national team. In fact, his first goal was against Peru in a friendly match in 2013. Although he has not had playing time in the team led by 'Bolillo' Gómez in the World Cup Qualifiers, he played 3 matches in the recent Central American Cup.
