Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah is reported to be on his way out of Torino following the arrival of Tomas Ricon from Juventus.

Acquah has been linked with a move away from the Grenades in the ongoing summer transfer window following a stellar performance in the Italian Serie A last term.

Reports suggest that the club rejected a bid of €8m Birmingham City offer for the 25-year-old.

But a fresh report from the Italy indicate that the club could consider an improved bid for the midfielder after they paid a loan fee of €3million to sign Venezuelan defensive midfielder Tomas Rincon from Juventus with the option of making it permanent for €6million at the end of campaign.

Acquah played full throttle for the side in their 7-1 victory over Trapani Calcio in the Coppa Italia round of 32 on Saturday.
