Following the announcement of his move to Burnley, he said: ‘I still want to achieve things. I want to get more games in the Premier League and I would love to add to the 100 Premier League goals. 

‘If I can add to that and get up the list that would be great as well, and hopefully that will all cumulate in Burnley moving forward.'
