Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah has joined Empoli from Torino on a season-long loan.
The deal has been announced by the player’s management company ArthurLegacy.
A tweet on Friday morning read: ”It’s official: We’re happy to announce that @AcquahAfriyie20 has signed a season-long loan deal at @EmpoliCalcio subject to medicals later today. #TransferNews #Acquah #Torino #SerieA.”
Acquah has been playing with Torino since 2015 and his contract was due to expire next summer.
The hardworking midfielder will be playing for his fourth Serie A club after representing Palermo, Sampdoria and Parma.
Torino is reported to have pocketed a loan fee as compensation believed to be in excess of €1,000,000.
Acquah was willing to extend his beyond summer 2019 but, Torino offered what the player believed was a no improved contract to keep him at the Stadio Olimpico Grande.
