Ghana youth international Kingsley Fobi met Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu for the first time on Thursday since his arrival at Udinese 10 days ago. 

Fobi, 17, has held training sessions with the Little Zebras during the international break ahead of a proposed winter move to the Udine-based club.

Agyemang-Badu, who played in both of Ghana's 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying triumph over Comoros arrived in Udinese on Thursday morning and resumed training with club.

The pair had dinner in the evening and Fobi has expressed his delight at meeting Badu.

He wrote on his Facebook timeline: "@badu8 it was nice seeing you today big [brother] thanks for your advice and I had a good meal tonight."

Udinese have expressed interest in signing the defender who played for Ghana at the 2015 FIFA U20 World Cup in New Zealand but they are yet to finalise talks with Right to Dream Academy over the transfer fee.

Right to Dream Academy are yet to accept Udinese's proposed offer for the move.

Fobi will become about the fourth Ghanaian starlet to join Udinese in recent times after Innocent Tano Azian, Clifford Aboagye and Jonathan Mensah.
