Portsmouth manager Danny Cowley has backed on-loan Manchester City star Gavin Bazunu to become a "world-class goalkeeper" following his last appearance for the League One club.
Bazunu, who joined Pompey on a season-long loan deal from City in July last year, brought his loan spell to a close in the Blues' League One season finale against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday. Despite conceding four goals in a 4-1 defeat at Hillsborough, the Republic of Ireland international was exceptional between the sticks.
He produced two excellent saves in the first half, expertly denying Lee Gregory and Barry Bannan, before producing two further stops after the break to keep out Callum Paterson and George Byers. It was a fitting way for the City ace to conclude his loan stint at the South Coast club, for whom he kept 17 clean sheets for this term.
