 plus £30 million (€35m) in add-ons for his signature in the summer of 2017. Fast forward six years and the prolific goalscorer has 212 strikes to his name in the French capital but the holy grail of a European Cup has evaded him. Even after landing five Ligue 1 winners' medals during his time at Parc Des Princes, it is probably fair to say that his greatest achievements in his career to date have instead come while representing his country.
