Man Utd leading the race to sign Rosenborg star

The 24-year-old impressed for Ghana in the World Cup this summer and have been linked with moves to top European clubs.

Annan’s agent, Lars Petter Fosdahl, is quoted as saying in The Sun: “We’re expecting one of the top English clubs to try to sign him.

“That’s what Anthony wants.”

Annan told Sky Sports News last week: “I am keeping my fingers crossed, but I don’t know the future yet. I am still playing and the transfer market is not over yet.

“I am just hoping one or two things happen before the close of the transfer market and just hoping good things will come out of that.

“I think if I have opportunity to play there [England] I would be very grateful. If not Germany, Italy, Spain, everywhere. I think I will be ready to play over there.

“My agent knows what’s going on and I will have a meeting with him and discuss what is happening with my future.”
