Asante Kotoko livewire, Frank Mbella Etouga is set to join Italian Serie A side Udinese Calcio this summer transfer window.
According to a report filed by Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM, the two clubs have held talks over the 23-year-old.
Sporting Director for Udinese, Pierpaolo Marino was at the Accra Sports Stadium to watch him play for Kotoko in the last match of the season against Accra Lions.
The Cameroonian striker ended the season as the top goal scorer for Asante Kotoko as he ended the 2020/2021 Ghana Premier League season with 21 goals missing out on the goal king award by a goal after Ashgold's Yaw Annor beat him to it.
He has been the subject of interest from several clubs from Africa and outside the country with the reds keen to keep him.
Mbella in his debut season in the Ghana topflight powered Kotoko to their 25th Ghana Premier League title but missed out on the goal king award.
He joined Kotoko at the start of the 2021/2022 season on a three year deal from Cameroonian side Fortuna du Mfou and has been a revelation.
