“When you consider all the attributes forwards need, Wayne is number one in my opinion.”
The Bulgarian international has netted a spectacular 19 goals this season. He is hopeful to cap off his achievement with a Premier League title for his club.
“That's my main wish. If, in May, we've won the title and I'm there to lift it, then it would be a personal best for me. I'd love to do that for the manager, who's been here almost 25 years, as well as my team-mates and the fans.”
