Feyenoord striker Nicolai Jorgensen has lamented the goal drought that has afflicted him following a failed move to Newcastle in January.
Jorgensen was the subject of three failed bids from the Magpies towards the end of the transfer window, although the Denmark international’s current struggles in front of goal have illustrated why the United hierarchy refused to meet Feyenoord’s reported £20 million asking price.
Despite netting 21 times in the Eredivisie last season, Jorgensen has managed just seven this term and last scored on Christmas Eve with the 27-year-old admitting that speculation over his future has affected his form but will continue to search for a solution to his present situation.
“I will continue to work for the team, then I am certain that those goals will come again,” he told Voetball Zone. “It is not my best period at Feyenoord. Hopefully it will come soon. I feel better and better. They were hectic months for me.
“You just have periods like this in football. I am not happy with it, but I work hard to do it better. I do not want to shoot myself and know that I can make goals, but I just have to do it again.
“I will continue to work hard for the team, then it will come naturally.”
Rafa Benitez is reported to be a fan of Jorgensen and there’s the possibility that the Newcastle boss could return with a bid for him in the summer.
