Afriyie Acquah plotting Torino exit as move to England talks intensifies

Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah is planning to depart Torino in the summer - with English Premier League mooted as his destination.

The hard-tackling midfielder was a key figure during Sinisa Mihajlovic's rein, but has failed to make an impression since the Serbian was sacked and replaced with Walter Mazzari.
