Can He score 20 goals a season?

The Dane scored a sensational goal against Fulham and has improved beyond recognition since Warnock has arrived at Cardiff City
Kenneth Zohore is tussling with Fulham's Tim Ream, at the same time a powerful header is launched clear by Cardiff City skipper Sean Morrison. What happens next shows why Zohore may just be the most improved player in the Championship this season.
Chants of "Oh Kenneth Zohore" rang around Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday afternoon and who would have seen that coming before Christmas? Along side wingers Junior Hoilett and Kadeem Harris, Zohore was part of a front three axis for the Bluebirds against Slavisa Jokanovic's side that excited, entertained and excelled. It was exciting one touch football not seen by Bluebirds fans since Dave Jones' tenure.
But back to that second goal against Fulham on Saturday. With the ball launched forward by Morrison, Zohore used his new found strength to keep Ream at bay and spin round the central defender. From there it was a simple foot race to the ball, and one the Danish striker won with ease. He chipped the ball over the flailing Ream and steamed towards goal, and before Cottagers keeper David Button could even set himself for a shot the ball fired past him and smashed into the back of his net.
The strike showcased Zohore at his very best. Earlier this season he was a peripheral figure, not featuring in the side between the start of October and the middle of December and failing to find the net in his first seven matches. But under Warnock's leadership Zohore has flourished and against promotion chasing Fulham he showed his intelligence and raw power to time and time again get in behind the defence.

Zohore is no stranger to audacious goals, his effort against Fulham coming just a few weeks after he ran half the length of the pitch to net against Preston.
While it's clear that Zohore has an eye for the spectacular, he has also started to do the basics well and his first goal against Fulham was good old fashioned centre forward work to create a chance and finish with calmness.

He now has six goals in his last six matches and it feels as though Bluebirds fans are finally starting to see the best of a man who aged 16 lined up against Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the Champions League.
Neil Warnock joked in his post match press conference that Zohore has probably saved him more than a £1m now. The Cardiff boss no longer needing to bring in a player capable of scoring 20 goals a season at this level.
Whether Zohore is that man remains to be seen, but the signs are good and if he can continue to score goals like the ones against Fulham and Preston he will continue to endear himself to the Bluebirds fans.

Imagine that not only we would go up comfortably but we would receive a world class bid from a Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
