The 19-year-old has joined the newly promoted side from AS Roma on a permanent deal believed to be worth €6 million plus €3 million in bonuses.

Speaking after the move, delighted Afena-Gyan said he can't wait to help the club achieve its vision.

He added that it was a huge honour to have donned the Roma shirt for the last one-and-a-half year.

Afena-Gyan posted: "I'm grateful to AS Roma, the technical team and staff for the precious opportunity and support I have enjoyed in the last one and half years. My utmost love to the manager Jose Mourinho. The last seven months with you has totally changed my life. Thank you for believing in me. To my former teammates and the Roma fans, I cherish the wonderful moments we shared together. Thank you Mr. Alberto De Rossi for the role you've played in my growth".
