Huddersfield Town Head Coach Heaps Praises On Elvis Manu

Huddersfield Town Head Coach David Wagner has lavished praises on Ghanaian striker Elvis Manu after sealing a six month loan deal for the Brighton forward.

The experienced trainer hailed the attacking credentials of his 21 year old Ghanaian striker ahead of a packed season for the championship side.

Huddersfield Town lured Elvis Manu away from Brighton with the promised of extended playing time in the six month deal with the club.

David Wagner lauded the total team work attitude exhibited by Manu after following the exploits of the Ghanaian for a very long time.

The English trainer immediately charged his Ghanaian attacker to confirm his class by salving Huddersfield from their indifferent form in the season.

“I like what I have seen of Elvis in his days at Feyenoord and Brighton. I believe his qualities will fit with our ideas. I am sure he can help out this season.

He also gives me another option in the number seven, eleven and nine slots, which is very important to have for the rest of the season”, David Wagner told reporters on Manu’s arrival.

Manu passed through the ranks of the famous Feyenoord Academy before making a name for himself in the UEFA Champions league in his formative stages with the Dutch side.
