Published on: 09 February 2020

Fortuna Düsseldorf manger Uwe Rösler has heaped praise on Ghanaian youngster Kelvin Ofori follwoing his impressive performance in the German Cup win over Kaiserslautern in midweek.

Ofori came off the bench in the second half to help his side progress to the next stage of the German Cup after thrashing Kaiserslautern 5-2.

Speaking about the 18-year-old's performance after the game, Rösler said, "I think so! I had already seen him in training, but then in a game today. He has an uncanny body balance, he is very difficult to grip with the ball."

"Kelvin is only 18 years old, we will still have a lot of fun with him! The club did a really good job with him.

"I can already say that without praising the boy. You shouldn’t raise expectations too much, we will see for now in the next few weeks. However, he showed me that he can help us as a team immediately."

Ofori joined the Bundesliga side in the summer of 2019 from Right to Dream Academy.
