Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah has joined Turkish top-flight side Yeni Malatyaspor on a two-year deal after his contract with Torino expired in June. 

The 27-year penned a two-year deal with the option to extend for one year on Friday after completing a successful medical test.

Acquah joins the Blood and Gold outfit as a free agent after his contract with Italian side Empoli came to an end in June.

This is the second time Acquah will be playing outside Italy.

The first was in 2013 when he signed for TSG Hoffenheim but it was a disastrous spell as he never played a competitive match.

He returned to Italy after six months. 

The 36 times capped Ghana international has spent most of his career in Italy, where he has played for the likes of Parma, Sampdoria, Torino, and Empoli.
