'I think I'm getting used to English football and I think I have improved a lot, but I can still give a lot more. I can score many more goals, too, because I'm not doing that as much as I did earlier in my career. 'I'm starting to show something of what I can do. I'm training very hard to reach that level and I'm working hard to achieve that every day. I'm very happy playing wide on the right of the attack, which I feel is my best position.'
