The 22-year old striker, who led the Argentinian league in scoring last season, has been acquired by Birmingham for 2.5 million pound. Figueroa had a medical on Wednesday and then agreed to a five-year contract later in the day.

ANALYSIS
For a goal scorer of this age and potential, looks like City got a real bargain here. Figueroa will bring his various skills to a team that is desperate for offensive production.
