I don’t know, I have heard many things, I have no word to talk about that because with the World Cup coming it is very, very hard for him and I send him my prayers.”Slot was also quizzed on the centre-forward in his post-match interview, and he too did not seem overly positive.The Dutchman said: “It’s not too good. In the second half he went home so I haven’t seen him yet.

I watched him here against Fulham and he was awful.“He was non-existent here tonight. He was sort of wanting to bump into him.
