Aji Alese played a season with Pierre Ekwah at West Ham, and has given SAFC supporters a glimpse of what we can expect from the French midfielder...
GOT ON WELL
“It was only the one season, but we got on well on and off the pitch. I played left-side centre-half in the U23 team and he played left-side central midfield, so we combined a lot. We had a great relationship as teammates, and it’s something that hopefully we can continue up here.”
STYLE OF PLAY
"As a player I would say Pierre’s very technical, but also strong off the ball as an athlete – tall, quick, and can move well. Athleticism is a part of the game which keeps getting bigger and more important, so those attributes he has can definitely help us.”
FIRST TEAM OPPORTUNITIES
"I suppose that’s the next step in Pierre’s career now, to break in and play in a first team. It’s the same reason I joined in the summer – the young squad with a lot of potential, the philosophy of the club – we want to bring in and develop young players, which we’ve seen this season. Here will definitely be a good place for Pierre to showcase his talents.”
