Shinji Okazaki confident of finding consistency

Shinji Okazaki is confident that he will find the net on a regular basis after opening his account for Leicester City.

Leicester City striker Shinji Okazaki has insisted that he can become a regular goalscorer in the Premier League.

The Japan international, who joined the Foxes from Mainz 05 in the summer, opened his account for the club in the 2-1 victory over West Ham United.

Okazaki scored 14 goals in all competitions for Mainz last season, and he is confident of producing his best form on a consistent basis.

"Scoring my first ever Premier League goal in only the second match is huge for me," he told reporters. "But, I will carry on scoring. This is just the beginning for me, I want this to be the first of many.

"The goal means a lot to me, because I wanted to score an important goal.

"I think I can contribute in other ways but my main intention is to be a goalscorer, as I believe otherwise, I won't get the recognition."

Leicester host Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
