Newly-promoted Serie A side Spezia are close to sealing a two-year contract extension with Italian-born Ghanaian Emanuel Gyasi.

The new deal will keep the winger with ''The Little Eagles'' to June 2023.

Gyasi has been key for Spezia in the Italian top-flight; starting in all four league matches.

The 26-year-old scored the only goal during the promotion play-off final which earned Spezia a 1-0 aggregate win against Chievo Verona to secure Serie A qualification.

Last season, he scored 9 goals in 37 matches and also provided three assists in the process.

Gyasi was named in the 2019/20 Serie B Team of the Season.
