Hearts of Oak head coach Nebojša Kapor has urged Ghanaians and the media to exercise patience with youngster Alex Banso, describing him as a potential future star of Ghana football.

Speaking at the post match conference, Kapor made the remarks after Banso provided an assist in Hearts of Oak’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Berekum Chelsea.

“This is coming from a lot of training sessions. You can see here something that we are doing every day. A lot of information players are receiving from every part of training sessions,” Kapor said.

He noted that Banso’s ability to operate in several positions around dangerous areas makes him an exciting prospect.

“He is a young, good player and he can operate from all positions that are close to dangerous areas,” he added.

Kapor also appealed to the public to avoid putting excessive pressure on the youngster, insisting that he could play an important role in the future of Ghana football.

“He’s a future of Ghana football, and I want Ghanaians to be calm with him,” Kapor stated.

The Hearts coach believes Banso has the right temperament to succeed but says he needs time and continued support to develop.

“He is very good and very calm boy, which is very good for him. But I am also begging you to calm down and let's see. I am praying we will get from him in the future,” he added.
