Wolves boss Lopetegui: Goalscoring must go beyond strikers

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui says they need to share the goals across the team.

The Molineux men have been hampered by a lack of centre-forward options this term but Lopetegui insists Wolves must work on scoring as a unit, without a reliance on a centre-forward

Lopetegui said: “Sasa's (Kalajdzic) injury at the start of the season, it was an important investment from the club and unfortunately he's injured.

“After that Diego (Costa) is coming. We are going to try to choose the next options, not only for this position.

“Sometimes you can play without a striker and you can score goals. We have to try to improve the rest of the players too, not only putting the focus on the striker. We want to put the focus on the team, the way the team is attacking and defending, but as a block, not only thinking about one player and one position."
