Ghana midfielder Agyemang-Badu is raring to go after completing a move to Serie A side Hellas Verona from Udinese.

“I am very happy to have arrived at Verona. First of all I would like to thank the Pozzo family, they took me as a child in Africa and made a man, but now it was time to change and now I am happy to be here,” he said at his first press conference with the club.

The Ghana star joins The Yellow and Blues in search of more playing time after making a return to action towards the end of last season, following a long-term injury layoff.

“Now I am very well physically,” he said. “I just have to work and help the team, already in the last championship final I played several games so it’s all behind.

“I am ready to do anything, just to help the team: I put my experience of many years in Serie A to reach the goal of salvation.”
