Deadline Day signing Sylvester Jasper insists Hibernian Coach Shaun Maloney's style of play is the 'perfect system' to suit his own creative, direct footballing approach.
Sylvester signed for Hibernian in the final few moments on Deadline Day, joining on loan from Fulham FC until the end of the season, but with an option to buy in the Summer.
The pacey winger told HibsTV that it was a conversation with Hibs boss, Shaun Maloney that sealed his decision to head to Edinburgh. He told us:
“It was a crazy few hours on Deadline Day. During the day I knew that there were talks between the two clubs but I didn’t know if the move was happening or getting finalised or not.
“Then the gaffer called me around 8pm and we had a very positive chat. He told me what he wanted from me and how much the club liked me and wanted to bring me in.
"After speaking to him I was 100% all on board. From there on it was just a race against time to try and get all the paperwork done before the window closed."
Sylvester fits the build for what the Maloney and the Club are looking to achieve going forward - a young, ambitious and progressive new talent with plenty of potential. The 20-year-old insists that the Manager's ambition to play an attacking style of football was a big factor in his decision to sign on the dotted line.
"I'm an attacking player, creative player who likes to get people on the edge of their seats and I need an attacking system to be able to do that. When he told me about the way he wants to play I was all in.
“I feel like the style will work perfectly for me and hopefully I can replay him with performances on the pitch.
“I feel with the Manager bringing in new players it shows that the club is trying to go in a new direction and improve. I want to be a part of that I want to help the club improve and get to the top of Scottish football.”
Jasper was on the bench against Hearts on Tuesday night and is eager to make his debut as soon as he can. So, what can Hibs fans expect of the new winger?
"They can expect to be excited when I’m on the ball. I like to go past players, create chances, take lots of shots, score goals, and get assists. They can expect a bit of flair, I like to be creative and not be basic.
"I base my game off players like Neymar, Hazard and the best creative players in the world so fans can expect a bit of that too."
