Former Asante Kotoko player, Frimpong Manso has revealed he offered Hearts Of Oak winger Eric Dizan to Kotoko but unfortunately Akonnor was sacked same week the player was to come for trails.
“When C.K Akonnor was coach of Asante Kotoko we talked about the boy and he was about to come for trials and in that same week that C.K Akonnor was sacked from Kotoko.”
“I recommended him to C.K Akonnor when he was coach of Asante Kotoko but he was sacked soon afterward so the deal fell through,” Manso told Ash Fm in an interview.
“He is a right-footed player who cuts in from the left side and he is not too good when you play him on the right as he compared to the left flank because he usually likes to dribble infield and he can finish.”
“He is very fast and his major asset is his pace and the quality of his technique is very high. I coached him for almost a season and he is a very good player.”
“He is very good in 1v1 especially If you are a defender and you give him space and time he will give you a hell of a problem,” he added.
Eric agreed to a 3-year contract with the Phobians and was present on Monday April 20th 2020.
