Sigurdsson given goal target by Marco Silva

Everton midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson has been set a goal target by his new manager Marco Silva, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Sigurdsson scored two and missed a penalty at the weekend as Everton brushed Fulham aside as they claimed a 3-0 victory at Goodison Park.

It comes at a good time for the Icelandic midfielder to find his shooting boots with the Toffees enduring a mixed run of form prior to the victory over Fulham.

Having earned a £50 million move from Swansea back in 2017, he has failed to live up to the expectation on a regular basis but now looks integral to the way in which Silva wants to play.

He has also captained the side at times this season, which shows just how key he is to the side as they look to move forward after enduring a tough start to the season.

The Everton boss now wants to see the midfielder find the back of the net another seven times in the Premier League this season.

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. Like all the others, he needs confidence. All of our players who play in our attack need confidence.

matchday.
