It’s about finding the right balance at the minute. We will see throughout the next weeks how we can manage him better,” the French manager told the club's official website.
The 48-year-old also added that he brought the Nigerian to the club to make the fans happy and will do what it takes to achieve that goal.

We want to help him, and we will do everything we can to improve him and have success with him. We want him to score goals for us and make our fans happy,” the Frenchman added.
