Expert “HTO” discussed this week’s negotiating tactics and had some interesting thoughts on Josh Acheampong.
The defender has made two consecutive Premier League starts and could earn a third against Sputs this weekend.
Pundit points to exceptional Acheampong qualities
“Josh Acheampong has proven to be a bit of a monster to be fair,” said the pundit.
“He’s got a really interesting profile. He’s got a really long leg but he’s really technical. His running off the ball is incredible. I love the way he uses his hips to bounce off players. I love his close control, for a big man he doesn’t look awkward.
“His presence off the ball, his physicality is incredible. He’s played in a back three, he’s played elsewhere, centre-back, right-back… but that right-back position really suits him and gets the best out of him.”
He went on to compare him to the long-legged ‘stallion’ defenders who currently excel in the Premier League, such as Riccardo Calafiori.
