Coventry City’s new striker, Brandon Thomas-Asante, has credited the club’s assistant manager, George Boateng, with the potential to take him to the next level in his career.
Thomas-Asante made his debut for the Sky Blues in a preseason game against Werder Bremen, which ended in a 2-1 loss.
After scoring 12 goals and adding two assists in 43 games last season, Thomas-Asante was linked with a move to Hull City before joining Coventry City. Boateng, who played a role in Thomas-Asante’s transfer to Coventry, is a familiar face to the Black Stars striker.
“Obviously, I was very familiar and George (Boateng) would come down to watch me for West Brom (wich Albion) doing some scouting work for Ghana during his time there so he was familiar…so when I saw that he was a coach here, knowing that he had a fondness for my game, it made sense and obviously he comes with the credentials he’s got through his playing career and coaching career.”
Thomas-Asante believes that working with Boateng will give him the edge he needs to take his career to the next level.
“As well as working with the manager, definitely working with George is something that I feel like can give me the edge to take me to the next level.”
