Young Boys defender Kasim Nuhu has hailed the influence of captain Steve Von Bergen on his career.

The 22-year-old hogged the headlines over the weekend after scoring a piledriver in the side's 3-0 win over FC Breitenrain in the Swiss Cup.

And the Ghanaian has hailed the influence of his defensive partner at the club.

"Steve is just a great person," says Nuhu. "During the game, he talks to me all the time, he corrects, conducts, motivates. I can learn a lot from him, like on the other side of the square."
