Struber: Mehmeti has oustanding potential

GERHARD Struber insists Anis Mehmeti still has “space to grow” despite the impressive standard he has sustained on the pitch this season.

The Robins returned from the November international break in impressive fashion as they ran out 3-0 winners over Swansea at Ashton Gate on Saturday lunchtime.

First-half goals from Rob Dickie and Emil Riis, as well as a late Yu Hirakawa strike, kept all three points in the West Country. City are back up to fourth in the Championship table.

Mehmeti assisted all three goals, crossing for both Dickie and Riis in the opening period, before threading a perfectly-weighted through ball behind the Swans' backline late on to leave Hirakawa with a routine finish past Lawrence Vigouroux.

With his three assists against the managerless Swans, the 24-year-old has now had 11 goal involvements in 16 Championship matches this term.

Although he is arguably playing his best football in red and white, Struber still feels Mehmeti can - and has the drive to - get even better.
