Published on: 18 June 2018

Torino midfielder Afriyie Acquah says he's opened to a move to England with giants Chelsea and Arsenal believed to be interested.

The future of the 26-year-old has been hugely speculated with the Ghanaian linked with a move away from Italy.

English powerhouses Chelsea and Arsenal have been linked with move for the box-to-box midfielder.

The Ghanaian came to close sealing a deal to Championship side Birmingham City last during the January transfer window.

And the Black Star has indicated his desire to switch to England -though Chelsea appear not to be interested.

“In January, I was moving to Birmingham but later there were a lot of issues, so I couldn’t move,” Acquah told Ghanaweb.

“My dream is to play in England, so always I pray that one day, I get a chance to play there.

“I don’t have a favourite team I want to play for, but any club, even if it's Chelsea or Arsenal.

"The team I like is Arsenal, so imagine me playing for them.”

Acquah signed a four-year contract with Torino back in 2015.

He is yet to reach 30 Serie A appearances in a Torino shirt, despite only missing 11 appearances through injury during his three-years with the Italian outfit..
