He’s come in [and scored] three goals, made chances, made others around him play better. I’m still not convinced he will be 20 goals a season because if he was that then why did he not do that at Man City in a better team?
I think he had enough opportunities [at Man City]. He is not somebody that scores goals out and out and out. He’s somebody that loves scoring goals and likes to link up, he’s been brilliant at it, very strong, holding the ball up.
He’s got three goals in five matches – which is brilliant – but you expect him to score more goals. He’s a great signing.
