Ghana midfielder Majeed Ashimeru is set to return to Red Bull Salzburg as club seeks to end his loan at St Gallen following his scintillating displays in the Swiss league, SportsworldGhana.com can report.
Officials of both clubs held a meeting last week to iron out the player’s potential early return to the club.
The Ghana Under-23 ace has played for three different clubs on loan since he joined the Austrian giants.
After a year at Austria Lustenau, he was sent out on another expedition at Wolfsberger before being sent to his highest club destination St Gallen.
Peter Zeidler, Salzburg coach who now coaches St. Gallen, confirmed to Sky Sport Austria the departure of the 21-year-old regular player: “We would have liked to borrow him for another year, but he will be ordered back to Salzburg.”
Due to his “spectacular” playing style according to Zeidler, the “giant talent” has made a name for himself in Switzerland: “In spite of his only 63 kilograms, he gets by in a different way than, for example, Keita did. He literally puts the turbo to the ball. Unfortunately, it has recently become established that he is extremely attacked. “
Zeidler would have liked to keep him in the team, not only because of his good performances, but above all because Ashimeru can improve even further in some areas: “In terms of the move to the goal, he still has to grow clearly. In addition to the header game especially in the shooting technique, he hardly shoots full span, although we invite many special forces with him. “he added.
“In principle, he can do well to capture a ball. But: If I set him up as a left eight, there are three scenes per game, where he is right out ball hunting. But he does not do that out of tactical undisciplinedness, but out of zeal. He likes to take responsibility. “
Although St Gallen are keen to sign permanently, parent club Red Bull Salzburg want him back after being following his impressive progress.
The former West Africa Football Academy [WAFA] star has been named in the Swiss team of the week for five weeks running.
