Sandro Ramirez addresses goalscoring drought as Everton loanee's struggles continue

Sandro Ramirez has opened up on his goalscoring drought and explained why he's not concerned.

The Everton loanee is spending the campaign with Real Valladolid after sealing his third loan move away from the Blues just over two years after signing from Malaga in the summer of 2017.

Despite the high hopes that followed his signature, the forward struggled to make an impact with the Blues and only managed one goal in his few months at Goodison Park - a consolation in a 5-1 loss to Atalanta in November 2017.

However despite having loans with Sevilla, Real Sociedad and now Valladolid from that point - Sandro hasn't managed another goal since.

But the 24-year-old is still confident he can find his feet again in what he knows will be a crucial year in his career.

"For me, it’s a very important year," Sandro said in a press conference as quoted by El Desmarque (via SportWitness).

"I’m very excited. When you’ve gone some time without scoring like I have, you need [confidence]. A striker lives for goals, but I don’t believe that feeling.

"I’m calm because I’ve always scored goals and I will continue scoring goals."

Sandro suffered an injury early this season for Valladolid limiting him to just two appearances for his new club so far.
