Portland Timbers manager Gavin Wilkinson has lauded Ghana goalkeeper Adam Kwarsey for his excellent exploits for the Timbers this season.

Kwarasey has been outstanding in the Major League Soccer this season having made 13 clean sheets for his side.

The 27-year-old is arguably one of Ghana’s best players abroad this season.

Wilkinson who poached the Norwegian-born Ghanaian from Tippeligaen side Stromgodset has applauded the performance of the Black Stars goalkeeper.

"He's cool, calm and collected, even reserved in many ways."

"We have a lot of confidence in Adam," Wilkinson said. "That's one of the things about him. He's very confident, very composed."

The former Vålerenga gloves-man is gunning for the best goalkeeper award in the Major League Soccer.
