Chester FC keen to keep hold of in-form Dutch-born Ghanaian striker Akwasi Asante

Published on: 11 December 2018

Chester joint-manager Bernard Morley  says the club will do everything to keep hold of striker Akwasi Asante following an explosive start to the season.

The 26-year--old has scored four goals in two matches for the side since his loan move from Tamworth at the start of the month.

The Dutch-born was on target for Chester in their 1-1 stalemate against Stockport County, which followed his hat-trick against Darlington last week.

There are mounting fears the lower division side will struggle to keep hold of their emerging star.

But Chester joint-manager Bernard Morley has vowed the club will do everything possible to keep him.

"He’s given us a real platform and he’s what you’d call a real centre forward.

"He does the right things. I still think he needs minutes in his legs, but for what he’s contributed in that short space of time since he’s been here, he’s been unbelievable. To score four goals against Darlington and Stockport is obviously a dream come true for him.

"Decisions like that are out of our hands unfortuntely. We love him, the lads love him and I think he's enjoying himself. It's still early days for him but all we can do is see out the 28 days and see what the future holds for him. If the opportunity is there to make it permanent we'll push everything and do everything we can to make that happen."
