To be a striker you need to be in good shape.

My back to the goal, physically fighting off defenders, trying to bang my goals in, every week I have to do the business for this club. That's the life of a striker.

The role that I play as a lone striker, I enjoy it and particularly playing with great players.

Heading is still a vital part of being a striker, and it isn't about being the biggest player. Heading the ball is about timing, so work on that in training.

I've always been working hard on my speed for the last few years. Obviously I'm not slow, but as a striker, the more speed you have, the better you are.

I know that I'm a natural attacking player. I love to attack. I love to play freely; I love to combine and play through balls. That's the nature of my game.

The key for me is movement. When the ball comes into the box, or when the wide players get it, that's where I have to be clever and make my runs. That's where I come alive.

I want to become the ultimate centre forward. I want to be able to play on the left, on the right, and down the middle.

Of course I am happy to play in any of the attacking roles, but for me, where I can score the most goals is down the middle.

I like to play attacking, like a winger, or an attacking midfielder, so it depends on the coach, where he's looking at me for which position.
