Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum is determined to break his goal scoring duck for Liverpool as soon as possible. The Dutchman has been used to playing in a more advanced midfield role in recent seasons, and scored 11 league goals for Newcastle United last season despite the Magpies being relegated.
The 25 year old told Liverpoolfc.com that he is impatient to score his first goal for the Reds as he has been used to scoring on a regular basis at previous clubs:
“You get used to scoring goals. During the years I have scored a lot of goals as a midfielder and when you get that feeling, you always want to score. You’re going to have a hunger to score goals and you’re going to be greedy to score goals. That’s what I am right now.”
Jurgen Klopp has employed him in a more unfamiliar central midfield role since he joined for £25million in the summer although he has been involved with assists against both Arsenal and Leicester City (both coincidentally for Adam Lallana) in the opening weeks of the season. He couldn’t pick a better time if he does indeed open his goal scoring account against Chelsea when they face the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Friday night
