The Jamaica striker, who signed a four-year contract on Monday after previously being set to leave City this summer, has scored relentlessly in recent weeks, including the winning goal in their Cup quarter-final in April as well as the winner in their semi-final at Chelsea in May, before nodding in from an Alex Greenwood cross for the first goal in Sunday’s 4-0 victory over Brighton.
