Aston Villa boss Martin
O'Neill has revealed he's been working closely with striker Emile
Heskey this preseason.
O’Neill said: “I spoke to Emile during pre-season and told him
there are ten goals to be had by strikers in the top-flight coming
across into that little area at the near post which is often
unprotected.
“If you can make your run and go in there with desire and
determination, goals are there for you.
“That’s two goals he’s scored now in quick succession by doing
that during this pre-season.
“Emile is a centre-forward thriving on goals.
“Strikers don’t usually want to tell you their targets for the
season, but I am sure he will have some.
“Generally I think we are more than capable of scoring goals
this season because we have some really good forward players.”
