Reading’s striker started his Premiership career with a bang after scoring the winner against Middlesbrough.

But the England Under-21 striker is keeping tight-lipped about his goals target for the season.

Lita came off the bench to replace the injured Dave Kitson and had only been on the pitch for ten minutes before sweeping in the decisive goal in a 3-2 win.

But the former Bristol City man refuses to reveal how many goals he is aiming to score in his debut top flight campaign.

Lita said: "I’ve got a goal target for the season, but I always keep it to myself."

The Congo-born forward admits he was disappointed to be left out of Peter Taylor’s England Under-21 squad in last week’s 2-2 draw against Moldova.

He added: "I was disappointed with that and wasn’t even on stand-by or nothing. Maybe he thought because I’d had a broken leg he would leave me out of this one.

"I watched the game and I would’ve loved to have been out there.

"I think if I’m playing in the Premiership it will help me get into the team and hopefully I’ll get back in there."
