There's not much reason to sign Ernest Asante from FC Nordsjælland in Denmark other than to use his 95 pace. The Ghanaian will be fairly cheap, so those hunting a bargain on a small budget may also like his 4-star weak foot skills and dependable 71 for dribbling. Asante won't set the world on fire, but he is fast.

You're likely better going for David Accam even if it costs you a few million more, because Asante is 2 years older at 28 and is 3 points worse off overall. That 71 rating and age combo could make him unappealing to players who like youth, and yet he has the speed to tear away from even the quickest of defenders.

Just pass to someone who can actually shoot when you get close to the opposition goal. Asante's 61 shooting and 61 passing may make that more difficult than it needs to be, but he's a nice backup option for English Championship clubs who play on the wings.
