Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Cremonese manager, Davide Ballardini extolling Felix Afena-Gyan's qualities but adding the 20-year-old needs to improve.

The Ghanaian has struggled to replicate the form that saw him hog the sporting headlines early in his career, during his days with Serie A giants, AS Roma.

Afena-Gyan burst onto the scene in the Italian top flight league after netting a brace in just his second game last season, which was against Genoa.
