Shearer said: "I think he is really impressing me in terms of his performances overall. Incredible (scoring in every goal at home).

"He's been a real centre-forward, not just his goals, but his hold up play, what he is doing for the team, bringing players into the game, challenging for balls in the air when he knows he perhaps might not win them. I've been really really impressed with him."
