Agyemang-Badu meets reps over Arsenal offer

Ghana international Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu may have denied wanting to leave Udinese this transfer window but footy-ghana.com can confirm the former Asante Kotoko man flew into London on Friday morning to meet his representatives for talks over offers from two English clubs.

Trusted footy-ghana.com sources reveal he has received two separate bids from English Premiership sides Arsenal and Crystal Palace which his club are prepared to snub.

The latter’s offer to both player and the Italians is said to be better than that of Arsenal.

According to our source, Udinese are not ready to entertain bids and have in the past 72 hours attempted to tie Agyemang-Badu down with a contract extension which the Black Stars midfielder is very reluctant to accept, hence his decision to meet his representatives in London on Friday.

Footy-ghana.com can confirm that Agyemang-Badu is nowhere near close to sealing a deal with either Arsenal or Crystal Palace as Udinese are yet to give their blessings to any potential move out of the club.
