Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah is not leaving Parma despite being linked to Genoa this winter.

The 21-year-old is on loan at Parma from German side TSG Hoffenheim and his impressive form has caught the eyes of Genoa, who are believed to be ready to make a swoop for him.

"I do not really know anything, Genoa have not contacted me and I do not know anything about a possible interest for Afriyie,” his agent Oliver Arthur told Tutto Mercato.

"Afriyie Acquah is very happy at Parma, he wanted to come back and he got it.”

He added: “It's too early to talk about his next step as he is on loan, there will be time before the summer. He is delighted at Parma and he is playing very well. His price tag is confidential.”
