Former USA international Charlie Davies has hailed the qualities of Ghanaian midfielder Yunus Musah, saying he is a special player.

Musah, born in New York to Ghanaian parents has been outstanding this season for Valencia despite the club’s struggle in the Spanish La Liga season.

Valencia have endured a torrid season and are on the verge of suffering relegation from the top-flight.

Speaking to CBS, the 36-year-old said, “There’s no doubt that he is a special player and a player who we don’t have in the (USA) pool,” said Davies. “He’s a player who can break through lines on the dribble. His acceleration.

“But he’s also a two-way midfielder. If he’s asked to defend, then I think he can defend and play as a hybrid eight. I would like to see him being a bit more attack-minded when he is with the US. He has the X-Factor we typically don’t have.

“It’s all about going to a club that suits you. That needs your skill set. You don’t go to a club because you are a big massive club and I want to go there just to say ‘I played for this club’, but you don’t get any minutes.

He has also advised Musah to accept an offer from Liverpool should the Reds go in for his services.

“When you look at their (Liverpool’s) midfield right now, he would be in that rotation, for sure. Is it the right step for Yunus Musah from Valencia? Probably not. If Jurgen Klopp sits down with you and says ‘you are going to be in my team’, you are going to get the chance to play, then you go.

“It needs to be remembered that he is only 20 and there is bundles of potential to work with.

Someone like Klopp would be the perfect coach for Musah and a player the German can take to the next level, that’s if they decided to sign him”
