Stephen Appiah has been without a club since leaving Fenerbahce over a year ago, but that could be set to change if Catania come calling.

Despite having had trials with such teams as Tottenham Hotspur and Rubin Kazan, Appiah has faced issues over the condition of his knee, with which he has a long-standing problem, and his general fitness.

This is still an issue for Catania general manager Pietro Lo Monaco, but he added that he is certain the 28-year-old still has the technical quality to succeed in Serie A.

"Appiah? Of course, if he's [physically] good we would buy him at once," Lo Monaco told Itasportpress.

"He would not only be a good signing for Catania, but I think he could still play for any of the other 19 teams in Serie A.

"I don't know how he is now and if he has overcome his physical problems but I can say with certainty that "Appiah is a great talent."
