Gylfi Sigurdsson scored twice for Everton against Fulham in the Premier League this past weekend.
Silva made the comments following Sigurdsson’s two goals for Everton against Fulham at Goodison Park in the Premier League this past weekend.
The 29-year-old attacking midfielder has now found the target three times in seven league appearances for the Toffees so far this season, according to WhoScored.
Everton manager Silva has suggested that he wants the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder – who earns £120,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – to score 10 goals in the Premier League this season.
Silva told The Liverpool Echo: “If he can score 10 goals this season it will be fantastic. I hope that when he scores the first direct free-kick more will come as well.”
Feasible target?
Sigurdsson is a very creative midfielder who can score good goals, and finding the target 10 times is feasible for the former Tottenham and Swansea City midfielder.
The Iceland international, though, has managed to hit double hits in terms of goals in the Premier League just once – for Swansea during the 2015-16 campaign when he scored 11 goals in 32 league starts, according to WhoScored.
