The Head Coach of German Bundesliga club VFL Bochum says he looks forward to work with Liberian player James Zortiah.

Coach Marcel Koller told his club website, Zortiah first impression showed that he is agile and technically correct.

Koller said he would give the Liberian player another opportunity for justification and would keep monitoring him.

The coach is hopeful negotiations could go well for the player to be part of his line up.

VFL Bochum Sport Executive Thomas Ernst said they initially invited Zortiah for a two week tryout.

Mr. Ernst said the way the player has shown his ability to dribble and attack from defense a deal could be reached sooner.

The VFL Bochum Sport Executive disclosed the Black Star FC player was recommended to the club by Liberian coach Antoine Hey.

Lone Star Coach Antoine Hey and VFL Bochum Coach Marcel Koller were teammates when they played for a Swiss club.
