Cardiff City's pursuit of a striker in the summer transfer window became a protracted saga.
Fans were nervous about the lack of goals within the squad and while City had bolstered their squad elsewhere, the lack of frontmen was a growing and alarming concern as the window hurtled towards its conclusion.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Tottenham youngster Kion Etete shot onto the radar and became City's first striker signing. A relative unknown, certainly at Championship level, but he brought a height and physicality that was sorely lacking in Cardiff's forward line.
