Speaking with OmaSports TV, he said, “Yeah, of course, I’m an attacker. I always want to score, and be a part of the goals for the team, but I’ve had a bit of difficulty this season. In the last two games, I think we’ve shown character and I hope it continues like this.
“I think everyone wants to play more games, but obviously, with the way the team is playing, everyone can play, everyone will get their opportunity, everyone will get minutes. It’s just about being ready, so when the opportunity comes, we’ll take it.”
The forward has had difficulty securing a starting position in Xabi Alonso's team, so life in Germany hasn't been completely favourable.
However, he has revealed that he would love to always be among the goal scorers in the team, and he is working towards being ready.
