Ghana international Afriyie Acquah has reportedly rejected an opportunity to join Serie B side Empoli in favor of a switch to England.

The 26-year old has struggled to break into the first team of Torino since the arrival of the former Watford boss.

Torino were looking to include him in a trade deal for Empoli player Rade Krunic.

But Ghanaguardian.com understands that, Acquah is not in favor of the move and has declined to negotiate.

The hard-tackling midfielder awaits offers from the Premier League that, at the moment, have not arrived yet.
