Tom Cleverley makes Argyle stance clear over Lorent Tolaj

Amid increasing speculation about a summer move away from Home Park, Tolaj is continuing to pile up the goals for the Pilgrims as they chase a League One play-off place.

The Swiss striker scored for the 20th time for Argyle this season in all competitions in the 3-1 away win against AFC Wimbledon at Plough Lane.

It was a goal which put the Pilgrims 2-1 up midway through the second half and had the hallmark of a top quality finisher, as he came up with a superb, controlled shot on the volley as he stretched to reach the ball when it dropped towards him.

Cleverley said: "What is separating Tolly from a lot of people at this level is those moments. If you have got a player in your ranks that can turn a draw into a win, yeah, people will have to pay a lot of money for him."

Including the one goal he got for Port Vale before his £1.1 million transfer to Argyle in August, Tolaj has got 17 in the league this term.

That leaves him as the joint fourth highest scorer in the division, even though he only played twice from late January until early April due to a couple of injuries.

Tolaj has 22 goal involvements (17 goals and five assists) in the league this season and clubs both in this country and abroad are bound to be tracking the striker, who is under contract to Argyle until the summer of 2029, very closely.

Despite the speculation which has already started about where Tolaj will be playing his football next season, there are no signs at all the 24-year-old is not fully focused on the task at hand for Argyle.

Even after harshly receiving a yellow card in the first half against Wimbledon and later having penalty appeals before the break ignored by referee Elliott Swallow, Tolaj was a man on a mission.

Cleverley said: "His mentality is completely focused, tunnel vision to score as many goals and help this team whichever way he can.

"A lot of decisions went against Tolaj today and early on the in the season after getting booked he could have been off.

"His mentality is becoming more focused. Our job as coaches for Tolaj is to try and refine and polish strengths, there is no weakness to his game.

"I have played with a couple in my career that are special, when you think 'This game has got draw written all over it' - which I don't really think today - but there is a moment and your number nine can get three points. People are going to have to pay a lot of money for him."

Cleverley added about the quality of the goal against Wimbledon: "There are so many parts of Tolly's game that I can sit and talk about, and his work for the team, but they are the moments that separate.

"The ones who can finish like he does and make the real difference, and win you 15 points a season, are the ones that are gold dust."
