U.S Cremonese coach, Davide Ballardini has charged Ghanaian forward, Felix Afena-Gyan to improve.
The 20-year-old was introduced in the second half in their game against Verona on Sunday at the Stadio Giovanni Zini.
The youngster has struggled to make an impact following his arrival from AS Roma.
However, Ballardini has refused to criticise the forward for his slow start but has implored him to improve his game.
“He is a boy in his first year of continuity with a Serie A team and it seems to me that he has made many appearances, it is clear that he needs to improve a lot," he said as reported by sosfanta.calciomercato.com.
"You took him on because he has noble qualities such as quickness and speed, the technical and tactical aspects will gradually improve.
"With the qualities that he has, if he improves he can become a very interesting boy. But Serie A doesn't wait for you, they want you ready and if you're not ready, it's noticeable," he added.
Afena-Gyan has made 24 appearances in all competitions with two goals to his credit.
