Yousef Salech is now the top scorer in League One and his Cardiff City head coach Brian Barry-Murphy believes the striker has more to offer.
Salech, 23, scored with two headers in Saturday's 3-2 win over Huddersfield Town to take his league tally for the season to nine goals.
Victory kept Cardiff at the summit of League One and they could strengthen their grip on top spot when they visit third-place Stevenage on Tuesday night (19:45 GMT).
"I think he just has to concentrate on trying to improve all aspects of his game," said Barry-Murphy.
"You've seen how dangerous he is, but obviously he's still a very young striker. He'll be learning a lot from Callum Robinson and how to improve the aspects of his game that Callum is really good at and he's not, and vice versa.
"So he's got a lot of improvement to go and he's a really good lad, and as long as he has the mentality to improve he'll be fine."
Salech has enjoyed a successful first 11 months at Cardiff since joining from Swedish side Sirius for a fee believed to be between £3m and £4m.
He scored nine goals in all competitions during the second half of last season despite the Bluebirds' relegation from the Championship.
The 6ft 5in forward has maintained that strong form in this campaign with 10 goals so far in all competitions.
"Naturally he's very dangerous in the box and our players are really aware of where he moves so we can find him with good crosses," said Barry-Murphy.
"His defensive work for the team was very good. Naturally it can be better, and the demands we want in terms of how he has to press the ball really quickly and really aggressively to make sure he forms the first line of our defence is so important.
"He can improve that a lot as the season progresses. He's a good lad and so much improvement to come is probably the most exciting thing."
