Alhassan Wakaso set to leave Rio Ave

Ghanaian midfielder Alhassan Wakaso is close to leaving Portuguese side Rio Ave.

Wakaso, 24, has spent three years at the club where he has impressed heavily.

However, fresh media reports in Portugal on Monday suggested the Ghanaian could leave during this summer.

Rio Ave's elimination from the Europa League qualifying round has not helped matters for the midfielder, who is now seeking a new adventure.

The hugely talented midfielder is being tracked English side Watford.

Alhassan Wakaso is the younger brother of Ghana international Mubarak Wakaso who recently joined Russian side Panathinaikos.
