Kusi-Asare's Fulham loan sees limited playing time amid coach's doubts

SportsSports
Key Points
  • Kusi-Asare has been excluded from Fulham's match squad for seven straight games with minimal playing time overall.
  • Coach Marco Silva has publicly stated Kusi-Asare is not yet ready for Premier League action.
  • Kusi-Asare remains positive about his development and is open to moving to a lower-level club for more playing time.

Kusi-Asare has been outside Fulham's Premier League squad for seven consecutive matches, and his playing time during the loan has overall been very limited. According to reports, he has not received much trust from coach Marco Silva, who explained in the British press at the end of November that he does not think Kusi-Asare is at a level where he is ready to play. Recently, he has been outside the match squad for seven consecutive matches and instead played with the U21 team.

Before the summer transfer window closed, it was confirmed that Kusi-Asare would spend this season on loan at Fulham, according to major media. Fulham has an option to buy Kusi-Asare after the season, and he is competing with Rodrigo Muniz and Raúl Jiménez for playing time. Kusi-Asare understands that it is not easy to break into the starting lineup.

We have some experienced forwards who have been in the Premier League for many years, so it is difficult to come in and take a place. But he sees that I am developing and when there is something I am missing, he tells me. I just try to work hard so I know that playing time will come with time.

According to Fotbolltransfers, Jonah Kusi-Asare described having a good dialogue with his coach and believes his development is going in the right direction because he gets to train with world-class players every week. He is open to a club move to a lower level to increase his chances of playing time. Kusi-Asare made one substitute appearance in the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich last season.

According to major media, Jonah Kusi-Asare, 18, made his Bundesliga debut last season. He is a regular starter for the U21 national team, according to reports.

I know they can buy me, but I have not thought much about it. I enjoy it there, it is a good environment for me but it is ultimately up to the club.

Maybe it would be good for my career to go down a step, so I can take a starting spot. But it depends on what the clubs have planned for me. We'll see what the future says.
