Torino star Afriyie Acquah has quashed reports in the local media that he is close to joining promoted English Premier League side Newcastle United.

The midfielder has been linked with the Magpies after he expressed interest in playing in England in future.

Acquah feels misquoted and explicitly declared his committed to his Serie A side.

The Ghana international's Twitter handle posted: ''Reports that I claimed a '90% done deal' to @NUFC completely FALSE. 100% committed to @TorinoFC_1906.''

Acquah revived his career at the back end of last season where he managed to scored two goals in 20 league appearances.

Reports that I claimed a '90% done deal' to @NUFC completely FALSE. 100% committed to @TorinoFC_1906. See video https://t.co/onpXrStLIg
