But he also has good technique.'Most importantly he is a goal scorer who gets them with his left foot, his right foot, his head. He can score all types of goals. That iswhat City are getting. He is a good buy for them. 'He is a good boy, he needs to work harder now he is in the Premier League than he does at present but he will adjust, no problem. 'He is also a good age, just 24. Strangely he reminds me of Alen Boksic, who I worked with at Middlesbrough, in the way he plays and scores.

That will be a very potent partnership, very strong. I wish him well at City and hope he succeeds and fulfils his dream and potential there.'
