Description

Franco Matías Di Santo (Spanish pronunciation: ; born 7 April 1989) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker for San Lorenzo.

Di Santo began his career at Chilean club Audax Italiano, earning a £3.4 million move to Chelsea in 2008 and a first-team place following good form in the reserves. After a season on loan at Blackburn Rovers, he moved to Wigan Athletic for £2 million in 2010, where he won the FA Cup in 2013. After totalling 14 goals in 122 Premier League matches, he was released following Wigan's relegation to the Championship in 2013. He then moved to Werder Bremen in Germany, spending two seasons there, before making a controversial switch to rivals Schalke 04.

Di Santo has represented the Argentina national football team on three occasions. He was nicknamed 'Crespito' (Little Crespo) after former Argentinian striker Hernán Crespo (who was nicknamed 'Valdanito', after Jorge Valdano).
