Patrick Asmah Debuts For Avelino

Ghanaian defender, Patrick Kwadwo Asmah,  made his official debut for Italian Serie B side, Avelino in a 1-1 drawn game against Brescia.

The former Atalanta defender passed his litmus test in a daunting home game against the inspired Brescia side.

Compatriot, Isaac Donkor, lasted the full throttle of the game as well, to rescue a point for his side in the opening round of fixtures of the Italian second tier league.

Both players would be key at the back for the ambitious Avelino side with promotion ambitions on top of their agenda.

Exclusive: Emmanuel Gyasi Set For Spezia Switch

 Highly-rated Ghanaian youngster, Emmanuel Gyasi, is set for a shock switch to Serie B side, Spezia, ahead of the upcoming season.

The 22-year-old Italian-born Ghanaian forward, recently inked an improved four-year deal with Torino but could be dropping back to the second tier league in search of playing time.

The hugely talented centre-forward spent last season on loan at Serie C side, Carrarese, where he notched six goals to confirm his progress in Italian football.

The forward passed through the ranks of Torino as the captain of the Primwevera side but looks set to extend his career outside the club.

A reported three-year-deal from Spezia seems to have tinkered the thoughts of the Ghanaian ahead of an expected move.

Ghanaian trio battling relegation in Serie B

A trio of Ghanaian players are battling relegation with their club sides in the Italian Serie B.

The players are led by Isaac Ntow in a highly competitive life at the buttom of the second tier league in Italy.

Black Satellites duo of Moses Odjer and Bright Christopher Addae joins Isaac Ntow in the relegation dog fight on Italian soil.

Italian football accommodates 26 different Ghanaian footballers in the ongoing 2015/16 season led by Emmanuel Agyemang Badu with his four goals.

Como remains rooted to the basement of the Serie B log with only one match left to play in the first round.

The relegation bound side managed a paltry 11 points under their belt in a dreadful season in the second tier league. Ghanaian youngster Isaac Ntow has been restricted to just three appearance in the opening 21 fixtures for Como.

With one win to show for their efforts, a return to Serie C looms over the head of Isaac Ntow and his beleaguered Como side.

Former Wa All Stars gangling midfielder Bright Christopher Addae look set to follow Ascoli back to division three at the end of the season. The 2009 FIFA U20 World champion racked home an impressive 16 appearance for the struggling Ascoli in the Serie B.

The presence of Bright Addae could however not brighten the future for Ascoli as they occupy the 20th slot in the 22 club league with 12 defeats already.

Injury ravaged Black Satellites attacking prodigy Moses Odjer returned to the last four of the Serie B log after another home reverse to promotion chasing Cagliari on Thursday afternoon. Odjer returned from injury last month but has yet to drag his paymasters out of the drop all season. The nimble footed attacker has 11 appearance under his name in an injury troubled campaign. The Salernitana attacking gem will be hoping for an improved second half of the season if he is to avoid a drop in ladder at the end of the season.

Maxwell Acosty Boadi and Emmanuel Bessea are not far away from the relegation threat with one point separating them from the red ink at the end of the season.
