Italian side Lecce in hot pursuit of Ghana's Godfred Donsah

Italian side Lecce are set to sign Ghanaian youngster Godfred Donsah as the Giallorossi aims at strengthening their team for the second round of the Seria A.

Godfred Donsah in August last year signed a season-long loan deal with Cercle Brugge with a reported €5m option to buy.

But his stay in Belgium could be cut short as Lecce are in seriuse persuite of his signature.
