Salomon Kalou wants to improve his goal tally for Chelsea

Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou has admitted he needs to score more goals for his club.

He recently got his 50th goal for the Premier League champions - after 210 appearances.

"Every game I play for Chelsea, I come out of it with regret because I feel like I should have scored another goal," Kalou told Chelsea's magazine.

The Blues need goals from Kalou and other players to arrest their current slump in form.

They have conceded a five-point lead in the Premier League and now lie fifth, nine points behind current leaders Manchester United.

"I know that I can create chances for myself, I do it every game and now I just have to concentrate on putting more of them in the net," Kalou said.

"So that's what my focus is now, because every game I create at least one chance for myself. Sometimes, I come out of the games with regret because I feel like if I was taking all the chances I get, I would be top scorer."

The Ivorian has succeeded in improving his rate of goal scoring this season - with eight strikes in 24 games, but says he is still working hard.

"I score the more difficult goals than the ones I miss, so I can't say it's because I can't do it," he said.

"I know that's not true because I've scored hard chances [and] that's what it takes to be a top player - to have one chance and to score."
