“I get the assist for his goal and he scores, and he gets the assist for my goal and I score. It’s good when both strikers have scored and assisted each other. He’s brilliant and he does all the dirty work. He’s happy to do it and he’ll come and tell you to get up the pitch and “I’ll do this, or I’ll do that”. He’s a fantastic professional and he’s getting his just rewards with his goals.
“There’s a long way to this season and I’ve already said to him I’ve only been here a few weeks but the type of person he is and how he plays and what he does every day for the lads I’d love nothing more than for him to get to 20 goals because he deserves every goal he ever scores because you don’t meet many strikers like him, he’s fantastic.
“He’s a credit to himself. He’s right up there with anyone I’ve played with just because he’s so unselfish and the way he puts everyone before himself.”
