Working with George Boateng can take me to the next level- Brandon Thomas-Asante

Black Stars and Coventry City striker, Brandon Thomas-Asante, has stated that working with Coventry City assistant manager, George Boateng, can take him to the next level in his career.

He said this in a post-game interview after making his Coventry City debut in a 2-1 loss to German side Werder Bremen in a preseason game.

After scoring 12 goals and adding two assists in 43 games last season, Thomas-Asante flirted with a move to Hull City before joining Coventry. Boateng who scouted Thomas-Asante during the former’s time as Black Stars assistant coach, played a role in Thomas-Asante’s move to Coventry.

“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.”

“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.”
