Salomon Rondon is hoping that fans will judge him based on the goals he scores at Newcastle United.
Rondon joined from West Bromwich Albion in the summer transfer window on a season-long loan.
He wants to make his first start against Chelsea at home on Sunday. And the 28-year-old striker believes that goals are how he should be judged.
"If you are a striker, the most important thing is to score goals," said the Venezuela international to The Shields Gazette.
"I know my stats, and maybe they have not been really, really high, but everyone knows that I was playing at West Brom.
"In my first season, I scored 10 goals. Maybe that didn't make everybody really happy, but it was also difficult.
"In my career before then, I didn't have any red cards, and then I had a red card.
"It was a difficult time for me because my dad had aneurysms in his brain, so it was a difficult moment for me.
"I tried to be focused and tried to score goals, although it wasn't enough in my opinion.
"If you are a striker, you want to score 15, 20 goals, and it wasn't like that, but I was happy anyway."
