Emmanuel Agyemang Badu is expected to put pen to paper on a new contract with Italian club Udinese.

The Ghana international, 22, is set to renew his agreement until June 2018 at some stage on Thursday.

The Bianconeri signed the midfielder in January 2010. He has scored one goal in 50 Serie A games for the outfit.

Badu’s previous deal was set to expire in the summer of 2016.
