Acquah himself had requested to leave Torino, despite the club’s president’s willingness to keep him.

Birmingham City manager Harry Redknapp identified the combative midfielder as ideal for his side after seeing moves for Ogyenyi Onazi and Stewart Downing fail to materialize.

However, the former Tottenham boss’ frustrations are set to increase after failing to capture yet another target.

The news of Acquah’s failed move will come as a huge disappointment to the midfielder who has never hidden his desire to play in England.
