Premier League side Brighton to sign Afriyie Acquah in January

English Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion are monitoring Afriyie Acquah's progress at Torino for a potential move in the January transfer window.

According to Calciomercato, the Seagulls sent scouts to monitor the Ghana international.

But neither the player nor his representatives have confirmed or denied this report.

The 25-year-old was close to leaving Italy during the summer window but a deal with Championship side Birmingham City failed to materialise.

It is reported that Acquah is still keen on a move to England, with Chris Hughton's side a possible destination.

Acquah has managed four appearances for Torino this so far this season.
