Hull City boss Liam Rosenior has said there are still things Noah Ohio needs to ‘work on’ following his January arrival.
Hull City landed the striker on a loan deal until the end of the season from Standard Liege earlier this winter.
Ohio, 21, has since scored once in four games for the Championship promotion hopefuls and has had to bide his time for minutes.
Rosenior has explained why he hasn’t been playing that much, as per a report by HullLive: “We recognised Noah as somebody who could come in and help us with his athleticism, with his ability, but he’s very young. He’s 21-years-old, he’s had no experience in England. We knew that he would be someone that would take time to build, but who could make a difference to us again.
“What Noah needs to work on, for all of his strengths; he’s quick, he’s strong, he needs to work on his reliability in possession and how to keep possession for us in a way that he plays and his positioning and his pressing and where he needs to be.”
“And that takes time. It took Liam (Delap) time. Liam didn’t start to really flourish until maybe October or November, because Liam’s 21 years old, it takes time for him to learn and adapt to a system.
“Noah’s got unbelievable potential, he’s a great kid, but to throw him in at 21 years old with no experience of first-team football in England and expect him to be the difference for me, that’s crazy. That was never the intention of bringing him to the club, it was to make sure he was part of a group that get to the Premier League.”
