AC Milan midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng has admitted that he is struggling with his career as he fights to get regular playing time with the Italian side.

The former Ghanaian international was the club’s key player last season but he has flopped badly so far this season which has led to calls for him to be axed.

Several clubs including Bayern Munich and Manchester United have all been linked with a move for the player since AC Milan officials criticized Boateng’s performances.

Boateng is having a season to forget as his pace and ability of recover from tackles as well as bad performances and injuries have all conspired against him.

Now the midfielder is seeking to rediscover his form by admitting to his fans that he is going through some difficult times.

“Hello to all my fans … thanks to all for the support during this difficult time! I really appreciate it,” Boateng wrote on his Twitter page.

Boateng is looking to get back into the AC Milan team in their match against Anderlecht in the Champions League on Wednesday.
