We did a detailed analysis of his qualities, with the help of the club's scouting service, together we came to the conclusion that this is the ideal profile of a player who fits the system and idea of the game that our head coach Goran Stanić is looking for. We expect the boy from Ghana to quickly adapt to the requirements and to play for the team as soon as possible, and the fact that he has already played in these areas will be of great importance” - said Goran Grkinić, the technical director of Čukarički.
