Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah says he is delighted for making a return to Italian Serie A side Parma after a frustrating spell in Germany.

The 21-year-old has finalized a loan transfer from German side TSG Hoffenheim. He could be handed a permanent deal if he impresses during his stay at the Stadio Tardini.

Acquah, who never made an appearance for Hoffenheim since joining them in January in an exclusive interview with Joy sports expressed excitement with his return and is hoping to impress to earn a permanent deal.

"I like to play in Italy and I have played there before so going back is something great for me," he told Joy sports

"In my mind I want to go back and do well because things were not easy at all for me here, I sat out over 5 months here in Germany.

"I know is not going to be easy as I’m going back but I believe I can make it because I have been there before."
