Assistant coach of the Black Stars, George Boateng believes that Felix Afena-Gyan's move to US Cremonese will help him develop.
The Ghanaian teenager Afena-Gyan completed his move to US Cremonese from Italian giants AS Roma.
He made his breakthrough last season with the Rome outfit, but Jose Mourinho couldn't guarantee him game time this season.
The 19-year-old made his debut for Ghana in the World Cup play-offs with Nigeria in March.
George Boateng insists that Felix Afena-Gyan's move to US Cremonese will help him to develop his game.
"The latest transfer that has just happened is Felix [Afena-Gyan] leaving AS Roma and joining Cremonese, which is good,” he told Joy Sports.
“I think for a young player like him, it’s important to keep developing and the only way you can keep developing is to continue playing games. Training won’t give you that.
“So, it’s a very good move for Felix and hopefully, we’ll get to see the best of him before the World Cup," he concluded.
Afena-Gyan is in contention to travel with the Black Stars for the World Cup later this year.
