Ghana defender Jonathan Mensah will continue with his development with Spanish Segunda Division side Granada CF on loan from Italy's Udinese.

Mensah, featured for Granada last season on a similar transfer arrangement agreed by both clubs.

The 20-year-old Ghanaian international was tipped to return to Italy following an exceptional performance at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

But Udinese took the option to allow Mensah to progress with Granada again after completing his earlier deal.

Granada CF, who are newly-promoted in the Segunda Division enjoy a partnership agreement with the Italian club after both sides signed a pact in July 2009.
