Azon 'sure' more goals will come

Ipswich Town striker Ivan Azon hopes to increase his goal tally in the second half of the season to boost his chances of achieving his ambition of playing in the Premier League.

The 23-year-old Spaniard joined Town on loan from Serie A side Como last summer and has managed two goals in 19 Championship games so far - but has only started seven of them.

"Of course, when you're a striker you want to score goals - I must be calm and I'm sure the goals will come," he told BBC Radio Suffolk.

"My goal is to play in the Premier League, I really think it's the best league in the world, so I would love to play in it and if it's here (at Ipswich) it will be incredible."

Azon was in the starting line-up as the lone striker for Ipswich's win at leaders Coventry on 29 December, but was back on the bench for the New Year's Day victory over Oxford United at Portman Road.

"I think I played well (against Coventry) but sometimes there are rotations so you can rest a bit and I understand that also," he said.

Following the postponement of Sunday's game at Portsmouth, Ipswich are in FA Cup action on Saturday at home to Blackpool.
