'Bassette is going to be a really good player' - Carr

Coventry City's interim head coach Rhys Carr believes there is more to come from Norman Bassette.

The 20-year-old scored his first goal for the Sky Blues in their 2-2 draw with Sheffield United last weekend and is in line to start Tuesday night's Championship match at Burnley.

Bassette joined from French side Caen in August, signing a four-year deal but had made just two Championship starts with a further four appearances off the bench before his performance against the Blades.

"He's already a good player but he's going to be a really good player," Carr told BBC CWR.

"Norman's enthusiasm is infectious and his willingness to work for the team is brilliant - you'd rather have a player you have to reign in than trying to get more out of them."

Bassette made his senior international debut for Belgium in their 1-0 defeat by Israel in the Uefa Nations League earlier this month and Carr thinks that will only help him develop.

"He's a confident boy anyway but the cap he won for a top footballing nation like Belgium has given him a bit more of a spring in his step - he started (against Sheffield United) and it worked out well," Carr added.
