Ghana midfielder Alfred Duncan has signed a two-year contract extension that will keep him at US Sassuolo until 2022.

The 25-year-old had been subject of transfer speculations last summer, with Valencia, Inter Milan and AS Roma said to be interested in his services.

The new deal according to renowned Italian tabloid Gazzetta dello Sport puts to rest the transfer reports after becoming a mainstay under coach Roberto De Zerbi.
