Derek Boateng
Ghana midfielder Derek Boateng is on cloud nine following his switch from the Ukrainian league to premiership side Fulham.
Consequently, the 30-year-old former Getafe midfielder has resolved to work harder to get first team shirt in his two-year contract.
Having played in top flight leagues like the German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga, and in Greece among others, Boateng has described the Craven Cottage move as a dream come true.
And to the former Dnipro performer, his new move places him under no pressure to deliver; rather, it will stir him to go the extra mile to justify the purchase.
Already, the dreadlocked midfielder is finding his rhythm, having started training with the Cottagers.
He paid glowing tribute to national team mate John Paintsil, a former right back for Fulham.
To him, Paintsil’s good footprints during his stay at the Craven Cottage has already endeared him to his employers and the fans as well.
“Paintsil has really done well, his good works during his days here has really made things easier for me. They speak well of him and that has endeared me to the fans.
“I am not under pressure to prove a point, what I have purposed to do is to work harder to break into the first team,” Boateng said on Happy FM.
And responding to whether he has the Italian Serie A in mind as his next destination, he remarked “I will die here o.”
Boateng officially joined the English side last Monday.
