Lithuania head coach Edgaras Jankauskas has commended Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi for his versatility and development since joining FC Porto, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Nigerian forward completed a move to Porto from OGC Nice during the January transfer window and recently netted his first goal for the Portuguese giants in a 3–1 victory over FC Arouca. The strike marked an important milestone as he continues to settle into life at the Estádio do Dragão.
Speaking to noticiasaominuto, Jankauskas reflected on Moffi’s growth as a player, highlighting improvements in his overall attacking play.
“I have in mind a player who scored many goals, full of qualities. His right foot wasn’t at the level he wanted; he was great using his left, combining speed, agility, and physical power, but he was predictable because he couldn’t be efficient with his other foot. He always went to the left.
“He started improvising on the right and improved a lot. Of course, our league won’t define the player you’ll become, it won’t determine your success, it’s always debatable.
“But, fortunately, Moffi has become a great example. He came from Africa, wasn’t lucky at his first club, but here he took advantage of his second chance and showed that he was far above the level of the league,” he said.
Moffi’s recent goal and steady performances suggest he is gradually rediscovering his sharpness as Porto push on with their domestic and European ambitions.
