Ghana midfielder Mubarak Wakaso has reached an agreement to join Spanish top-flight side Deportivo Alavés, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.

The 26-year-old, who was the books of Panathinaikos, has terminated his contract with the Greek giants to pave the way for the move.

A full agreement has been reached for the move to be sealed.

The hard-working enforcer was one of the top performers for Granada despite their failure to beat the drop.

He has been linked with several clubs in Europe including Atlanta, Genoa and Celta Vigo but he looks set to return to the Spanish league.

Wakaso will become the eighth addition of the Victorians, in addition to Zubeldía, the new coach of the runner-up of the Copa del Rey.

The former youth player of Ghanaian side Ashanti Gold SC arrived in Spain to join Elche but his stay at the Alicante side did not end well as he released.
