Ever since the end of last season, Leicester City fans have been waiting for that one top-quality, head-turning signing to truly announce to the rest of the Premier League that they mean business.
Esteban Cambiasso certainly would fit the bill.
The 33-year-old has played for River Plate, Real Madrid and Inter Milan – three of the world's biggest clubs.
He has played for some of the top coaches in the world, such as Jose Mourinho, and with some of the best players on the planet.
He has won the Argentinian title with River Plate.
In Spain, he lifted the Spanish title, the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup with Real Madrid
During his decade at the San Siro with Inter, he won the Italian title five times, the Coppa Italia four times, the Supercoppa Italiana four times, the Champions League and the Fifa Club World Cup.
In short, he is a winner. Of course, he will not come cheap, even though he is now a free agent.
But the midfielder's experience would be invaluable and the impact he could have on the likes of Matty James, Danny Drinkwater and Andy King could stand City in good stead for years to come.
There is no question that City have a squad packed with young, exciting players who showed their potential during last season's Championship title success.
They have the ability to make the step up to the Premier League but, in the top flight, ability alone is not going to be enough.
They need the knowledge, the experience and tactical awareness to stay in tough, tight games if they are to take vital points.
Lose your head in the Premier League and you lose the game.
Cambiasso is a cool customer, calm in possession and an intelligent passer of the ball.
It was Cambiasso who was instrumental in Argentina's famous 24-touch goal, both during the build-up and applying the finish, in the 2006 World Cup against Serbia.
Cambiasso could play a vital role as City's midfield anchor and playmaker, shielding the back four and allowing the more forward-thinking players the licence to attack.
Not since Roberto Mancini's brief but memorable stint in a City shirt has a player with such a huge reputation and distinguished record been signed by the club.
Cambiasso's impact could be huge. He could make all the difference for City.
