Boateng close to playing for Ghana

Kevin-Prince Boateng is close to completing his switch from Germany to Ghana after a series of fine performances for Portsmouth in the English Premiership.
The ex-German youth international has been one of the few bright spots in a poor Portsmouth side with his energy, dribbling skills and ability to play behind the main striker and on the wings all evident even in his side’s record seven straight defeats.

Boateng turned down the chance to play for the Black Stars at the 2006 World Cup and has been honest to admit he is turning back to Ghana because the Germans did not look interested in him at senior level.
