I don't want to impress anyone – Appiah

Ghana captain Stephen Appiah says he is not under-pressure to impress any agent or club in Wednesday's friendly against Tunisia in Accra.

Early this week, the News of the World newspaper reported that three premiership sides; West Ham United, Newcastle and Middlesbrough will be in Ghana to watch him.

But the 28-year-old told Ghanasoccernet.com he is not getting the jitters ahead of match.

"If it's true then its okay but I'm going to be myself and play my game. I have been training with Brescia for five months and I'm doing well," Appiah said.

“We are talking to a lot of clubs and that a deal can be sealed maybe after this match.

"I am a free agent now and that is the good news for me to take any decision or move anytime."

FIFA has ruled the former Fenerbahce ace can leave on a free transfer after recovering from a botched knee surgery by doctors of the Turkish club.

This has cleared the path for Appiah to secure a club even before the January transfer window opens.
