However, the striker has distanced himself from transfer rumours, underlining that ‘I’m only thinking about scoring’.

“I’ve never thought about going to the Premier League, even though for a striker life would be simpler,” he said to Corriere Fiorentino.

“I don’t want to leave. I’d be disheartened, leaving this city after nine years wouldn’t be easy.

“No one has said anything to me yet and I’m only thinking about scoring to get this beautiful Fiorentina going again.”
