Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has heaped praise onto Anis Mehmeti after his performance against Charlton Athletic.
The 21-year-old scored his third goal in six league games against the Addicks to put the Chairboys 1-0 up inside 12 minutes.
However, not even 60 seconds later, the South London side equalized through Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, who is on loan from Crystal Palace.

🔵 1-0 🔴
During the 1-1 draw at Adams Park, Mehmeti caused many issues at the heart of the Charlton defence, as Ryan Inniss and Eoghan O'Connell struggled to contain the tricky attacking player.
He was taken off with 11 minutes remaining for Ali Al-Hamadi.

Speaking on his showing in front of Wycombe’s biggest crowd of the season so far, Ainsworth said: “Anis is going to be playing plenty of football here and he’s a fantastic talent.

“I’m really glad he got his goal today [August 27], as he spurned a few in training yesterday [August 26]!
“It was a great finish, and we are working with him every day in training.
“I’m really proud that we have created another fantastic player at this level, and we can watch and listen to other clubs being interested in him.
Anis Mehmeti. Best player in the league.

“But at this moment, he is a Wycombe player and I am pleased with that.”
Since joining Wanderers in 2020, Mehmeti has played 75 times and has scored 13 goals for the club.
