Spezia coach Thiago Motta has explained Emmanuel Gyasi’s new role at the club with the striker playing on the wing.
Gyasi has started as a right-winger in the last two games and despite being an unfamiliar role, he has registered one goal, coming against Sassuolo.
He, however, drew blank last Monday as Spezia lost 2-0 to Roma. His average performance in that game has left many questioning Motta’s decision to play centre-forward on the wing.
“The last game with Sassuolo he scored, he can play the whole band and arrive by surprise in the area which is his strength,” Motta said.
“We need a player like him who can also play at the full range, he is important for us regardless of the role he holds. He also played left-back when we didn’t have any.
Market? For the moment it is closed for the next four sessions, we are waiting for what will happen. If it opens up, we will see with the club what can be done.”
Gyasi has reached an agreement to extend his contract with Spezia until June 2023.
