Controversial yet highly talented attacker, Kevin-Prince Boateng, needs no introduction to any football fan, as he has courted as much attention for his actions off the pitch as he has made headlines on it.

The 31-year-old has had spells at numerous European clubs, including Tottenham, Hertha Berlin, Dortmund, Portsmouth, Schalke 04, AC Milan, Las Palmas, and most recently Eintracht Frankfurt, but he never stayed long enough at any club to firmly establish himself, as numerous disciplinary issues as well as clashes with club officials and teammates meant he was almost always booted out of clubs.

He terminated his contract with Las Palmas in 2017, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ with the board, and moved onto Frankfurt in Germany only a day later, but despite winning the DFB Pokal in his debut season with the club, he was once more on the move again – this time back to the Serie A for Sassuolo.

On his return to the Serie A, Boateng has shone like a million stars, showing all the attributed qualities that made him highly sought after early on in his career.

So far, he has scored 4 goals from 11 Serie A matches to help the Modena based team to 8th place on the league standing.
