Agyemang Badu for Sampdoria?

Sampdoria are in advanced talks to sign Ghana U20 World Cup star Emmanuel Agyemang Badu.

Badu hails from Asante Kotoko and has experience in Europe with Spain's Recreativo Huelva. The youngster was outstanding in Egypt as he helped Ghana to lift this year's U20 World Cup.

Primocanale says Samp are close to agreeing a £500,000 deal with Asante Kotoko for midfielder Badu.
