AC Perugia have announced the signing of Ghana defender Masahudu Alhassan.

The 22-year-old arrives on a four-year contract from Udinese following fruitful talks on Friday.

This brings to an end the tortuous four-year stay of the Ghana defender at Udinese.

Alhassan never has a chance to play in the first team of the Zebrette since he joined them in 2013.

He has since been sent out on loan twice to Serie-B club Latina.

The former Genoa man will now be hoping to gain regular first team action with his move to Perugia who also play in the Italian second tier.

Alhassan is contracted to his new club until June 2019.
