Ghanaian striker Akwasi Asante adapting to new role at Chesterfield

Dutch born Ghanaian striker Akwasi Asante says he is coping with his new position at National League side Chesterfield.

Asante has played as a centre-forward all his life but new Chesterfield manager Paul Cook is now using him as a number 10 because of his footwork.

The experienced forward admits the role is new to him but he is getting used to it.

“I have said to the manager that I will play wherever he wants me to play and I am enjoying it,” he said. “It is the first time in my career that I have played in that position, I am still learning, the gaffer talks me through it everyday in training. I try to improvise and do the best I can.”
