Liberty Professionals coach George Lamptey believes youngster Eli Agbeko will probably be the biggest talent to emerge from the club.
The 19-year-old is yet to play this season having just recovered from a long-term injury.
Agbeko was nominated as the Most Promising Star at the end of the 2011-12 Ghana Premier League season.
Injury has however taken its toll on the youngster who is now working his way back to full sharpness to make a first team return with the Dansoman-based.
Coach George Lamptey is raving over the future prospects of the left-footer who is already being tracked by foreign agents.
“Eli Agbeko I think will be the next biggest thing in Ghana football,†Lamptey told GHANAsoccernet.com.
“He has everything a player needs. He is like Christian Atsu – very skillful and quick.
“If not for the injury, I am sure he would have been playing in Europe by now.
“The thing however is that he is still young and still developing so we’ll need to be patient with him.â€
Lamptey adds: “He is just returning from injury so we are being careful with him.
“I think after the next two games, he will be ready to play again.â€
