Championship outfit Birmingham City reportedly pull out of a club-record deal to sign Torino midfielder Afriyie Acquah.

Birmingham City have reportedly pulled out of a deal to sign Torino midfielder Afriyie Acquah.

The Championship outfit had been strongly linked with a club-record move for the 25-year-old Ghana international.

However, according to Sky Sports News, Harry Redknapp's team have dropped their interest after failing to agree a price with the midfielder's Italian club ahead of the close of the summer transfer window.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Birmingham had offered £7m for Acquah, who has also previously been linked with a move to Newcastle United.

Birmingham are currently 20th in the Championship table after collecting just four points from their first five games of the 2017-18 campaign.
