The 29-year-old signed a two-year deal with the mega-rich club and will be unveiled in the coming days.

Acquah, a member of Ghana's senior national team, spent the last two seasons in Turkey with Yeni Malatyaspor.

His agent Oliver Arthur confirmed the move via Twitter: "Congratulations Afriyie Acquah for the decision to join Al Batin FC, Saudi Arabia. Arthur Legacy couldn’t be more proud of you. New terrain; New Culture, I have no doubt you would rise to the occasion as always."

The 2015 AFCON final Man of the Match previously played for Parma, Sampdoria, Torino, and Empoli in Italy.
