Abedi Pele has backed midfielder Prince Baffoe to be an instant hit at Asante Kotoko but stressed his success will not come on a silver platter.
The young playmaker who powered Division One side Nania FC to last seasonââ¬â¢s FA Cup title is currently in Kumasi to discuss personal terms to join the Premier League giants for an undisclosed fee.
And his soon-to-be former coach and President, Pele believes the midfielder has what it takes to succeed at a big club like Kotoko only if he works hard for it.
ââ¬ÅHe is a very good player and I think he will do well at Kotoko but all depends on him,â⬠Pele told GHANAsoccernet.com.
ââ¬ÅIf he continues to work hard and stay determined then he will succeed at Kotoko.ââ¬
Pele however insisted Baffoeââ¬â¢s imminent departure will not hurt Nania as they prepare to make their maiden appearance at the Confederations Cup.
ââ¬ÅThis is what Nania is all about. To give young players the platform to shine,â⬠he said.
ââ¬ÅI can tell you we have several players of Baoffoeââ¬â¢s quality if not better so I donââ¬â¢t think he going to Kotoko will worry us at all.ââ¬
