​Acheampong ready to leave Anderlecht for Premier League

Ghana's Frank Acheampong has revealed that he dreams of playing in the Premier League.

He told the BBC that his heart is set on a move to a bigger league and is hoping it happens sooner rather than later.

"It's everybody's dream to play in the English Premier League," said Acheampong, who helped Anderlecht win the Belgian league title.

He confirmed that there is an agreement with Anderlecht which allows him to move provided certain conditions are met.

"We are just working on it and let's pray that I get what I want. It's my dream, it's my first priority.

"When the [Hull City] move was blocked, I tried to contact the big men at the club, but it was in vain, so I just accepted it and worked to make Anderlecht champions.

"A few clubs in England have been in touch but I cannot say anything right now."
