Hagi has performed extremely well since returning to the team in October. Since then, £21,000 per week Dynamo scored two goals and provided four assists in 15 games for the Light Blues.
Known as “Absolute dream to work withFormer manager Steven Gerrard commented that the Romanian has shown the ultimate professionalism and is now reaping the rewards.
Hagi in 13 Premier League games Created five great opportunitiesHe averaged 1.7 key passes per game and his dribbling success rate was as high as 53%, providing Clement with a reliable offensive option in the offensive third.
He has been deployed out wide on a number of occasions this season and during his time at the club, but as a No. 10, Hagi can provide a greater threat in the final third.
The midfielder will be able to link up well with Igamane, who is likely to retain his place in the starting XI, using his creativity to create plenty of opportunities for the young African striker.
There is no doubt that he will cause a lot of problems for the Fraserburgh defense due to his creativity. Anything short of a comfortable win will put more pressure on Clement, with the Scottish Cup effectively being the Gers’ last chance to win trophies this season.
