The Coventry City striker, a team-mate of Callum O'Hare, who was linked with a switch to Turf Moor in the summer, is a wanted man after an encouraging start to the campaign.

Asked about his future, the ex-Brighton and Hove Albion man told Swedish newspaper Expressen: "It's hard for me to say, I don’t know. We’ll see that later. I enjoy Coventry. I get to play. I think it’s important to play a lot of games and be important in the team, not just move for the sake of moving.”
