George Burley has challenged Grzegorz Rasiak to match his first year in English football with Saints next season.

As reported in yesterday's Daily Echo, the 27-year-old Polish striker has become the first major signing of the summer after finalising a £2m four-year deal to join from Spurs.

Rasiak, pictured, has already scored four goals for Saints since his move to the club on loan in January and Burley is hoping for plenty more next season.

It is the second time Burley has signed Rasiak, first bringing him to English football two years ago when he was in charge of Derby.

He said: "You need as many players who can score goals as you can and Grzegorz can do that. In the first season at Derby he scored 19 goals and was great.

"I'm looking for that number of goals again next season.

"You need as many goals as possible from your strikers but also other areas such as midfield and that's something we'll be looking at for next season - it's so important to have goals from other areas."

He added: "We sorted it officially as soon we had completed the end of the season, which was important.

"Grzegorz is a proven scorer in the Championship and somebody who can play with any type of striker and I'm pleased we've finalised a deal with him on a permanent basis.

"He's done well since he's been here but we'll see the best of him next season.

"Grzegorz is a very hard working lad, very much a team player and will get goals for us."

Despite the end of the season and players not on international duty disappearing off on holiday, the hard work has not ended for Burley.

The Saints boss is beavering away trying to find signings for next season - the Championship transfer window has already opened for the summer.

Burley has several scouting trips planned in the immediate future as he attempts to build a squad capable of challenging for promotion to the Premiership next season.

One thing he is looking for is more goals in the side to turn draws into wins after a season that has seen Saints set a club record 19 draws in one campaign.

He said: "Draws are obviously very important but you need people who can turn draws into wins.

"The more threats you can get into your side the more likely you are to make one point into three."
