Alhassan Yusuf wins high praise from MLS club

Super Eagles midfielder Alhassan Yusuf has earned top praise from his MLS club New England Revolution after he featured in a 1-0 win over Nashville SC.

Pablo Moreira, assistant coach of the MLS side New England Revolution, hailed the work rate of Alhassan.

“I think as more games go, you’re going to see him be more comfortable,” he told the tabloid The Blazing Musket

“But it’s what we saw, it’s why we wanted him here, and he’s just scratching the surface because, I said this last time, he’s got a world class engine.”

He continued: “You don’t sneak into the Nigerian National Team without having a superhuman power, and that’s his.

“He’s just got an engine that he can go, and like you saw, he’s aggressive, he’s a little undersized, but you saw aerially, he wins balls. He’s connecting all his passes.

“And it’s just, again, what we saw out of him. If anyone has any questions about Yusuf, there’s a game that we all saw. It was against Barcelona, and to me, he was man of the match. So that’s his standard, and he’s going to raise it to that level.”

Alhassan Yusuf would hope to be called up by for the Super Eagles 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Libya.
