Dundee buy 'big man' Acquah from Barrow

Striker Emile Acquah is looking forward to "something different" after his "exciting move" to Dundee from Barrow for an undisclosed fee.

The London-born 24-year-old, who has signed a three-year contract with the Scottish Premiership club, netted 16 times in 89 games over two years with the side who finished 16th in League Two last season.

"I'm delighted to get it signed, I heard about the interest and I'm happy that it got done quickly," he told club media.

"I spoke to the gaffer and he said he had watched me a few times and thinks I can do well in this team and in the league, so it's an exciting move."

Acquah started his career with Southend United and had loan spells with Harlow Town and Maidenhead United before making the move to the latter permanent.

"Dundee are a big club and, when I heard of the interest, I just wanted to get here," he said.

"Coming to Scotland is a good new challenge for me. So far, I've just played in England and I feel like I want something different."

Asked what Dundee fans can expect from him, Acquah added: "I'm a big man, but I'm good with the ball at my feet.

"I like to make to runs behind and I will always work hard for the team and I'm always looking to get goals. As a striker, you get judged by how many times you put the ball in the net and, hopefully, I can do that many times this season."
