I think Eketike has got all the attributes, I've said this to you before at the match, I think he's got all the attributes to be anything he wants within the game, but it will be down to him how much he wants it, how much he's willing to train on, how much work he's willing to put into it.

He needs to fight more, he needs to press more, both as a centre forward, by the way, but certainly if he's playing on the left-hand side, that has to become a thing.

But also, I think that the media have been obsessed this year of, we've signed Isak, but what are you going to do with Eke Teekay?

Just because we had a very fixed... We were very lucky that we had a fixed front three for so long.

We were blessed, weren't we, with that front three.

But also I think you only have to look at Gakpo this year to see the impact it has on you if you haven't got someone fighting it out for your position.

Competition for the position raises the standards in training and on the pitch.
