Shefki Kuqi

Striker SHEFKI KUQI has told Crystal Palace fans his best is yet to come.

The Finnish international, 30, has endured a frustrating season due to injuries and a lack of form.

He's hit the net six times from 21 appearances since joining from Blackburn for £2.5m in September - but is desperate to rediscover his scoring touch.

He told the Croydon Guardian: "I think the fans have seen one or two games - like the QPR game which was my best game for Palace - when I played the type of game I used to play week in, week out, at Ipswich and Blackburn.

"They have not even seen me play to 50 per cent of what I am capable of. When I came in we lost a few games and confidence was not the best.

"It's not easy coming into a new club. At times you try a little too hard and things don't go your way. I have not scored as many goals as I would have liked to. When the goals did start to come I got the injury."
