Martins targets 20 goals for Newcastle

Obafemi Martins is targeting 20 goals with Newcastle United this season.

"It's always good to score goals and for me, it is important to improve every season," Martins told Kick Off.

"I scored 17 goals last season so this season maybe I should be looking at doing better than that. Twenty goals is possible and I hope I can do that.

"Both Viduka and Owen are great players and it shows that the manager is serious about achieving something this season. But I want to play all the time and as long as I am scoring goals, I think I can make it hard for him not to play me.

"Even when I am not scoring, I can make myself a problem for the other team and allow my team-mates to score."
