Ghanaian forward Felix Afena-Gyan has the potential to become "a very interesting boy" if he can improve his game, according to U.S Cremonese coach Davide Ballardini.
The 20-year-old has struggled to make an impact since joining the Serie A club from AS Roma, scoring just two goals in 24 appearances in all competitions this season.
Despite this, Ballardini has remained positive about Afena-Gyan's prospects, emphasising his "noble qualities such as quickness and speed".
He urged the young player to focus on improving the technical and tactical aspects of his game in order to succeed at the highest level of Italian football.
"With the qualities that he has, if he improves he can become a very interesting boy. But Serie A doesn't wait for you, they want you ready and if you're not ready, it's noticeable.
"You took him on because he has noble qualities such as quickness and speed, the technical and tactical aspects will gradually improve."
