The former Ghana international has returned to his former club after a season at the Italian Serie B outfit.<\/p>\n
Kevin-Prince Boateng has completed his return to Hertha Berlin after a season spent in Italy with Monza.<\/p>\n
The former Ghana international began his career at the Olympiastadion before moving to Tottenham Hotspur on a four-year deal in July 2007 for a reported \u00a35.4 million.<\/p>\n
Having left the Serie B side, the 34-year-old returned to familiar surroundings as a free agent after spells at Borussia Dortmund, Portsmouth, Genoa, AC Milan, Schalke 04, Las Palmas, Eintracht Frankfurt, Sassuolo, Barcelona, Fiorentina and Besiktas.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2006 he made his Bundesliga debut for Hertha BSC, now our homegrown team is back in his home country: Kevin-Prince Boateng returns to Berlin and wears the blue and white jersey again,\u201d a\u00a0statement from the Bundesliga side read.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe attacking midfielder is moving from Italian Serie B team AC Monza to the Spree and signed a contract until 2022 on Thursday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under manager Pal Dardai, Boateng will wear jersey no. 27. In his first interview, he explained the reason for returning to the Berlin-based outfit.<\/p>\n
\u201cHertha BSC is not just any club for me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m here to give something back. I’ve been around a lot over the years and learned a lot, but all that, my whole career, I owe to this club. I have never forgotten that Hertha was always in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
With this move, the African star becomes the club\u2019s second signing after 24-year-old Suat Serdar, and sports director Fredi Bobic expressed his delight with his arrival.<\/p>\n
“Kevin-Prince Boateng knows Hertha BSC, the Bundesliga and Berlin,\u201d Bobic said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt does not require a long acclimatization period. Prince, with his leadership qualities in the cabin and off the pitch, is a tremendous asset to our team.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the pitch, he has proven himself over many years at the highest level. The overall package in this transfer is absolutely right.\u201d<\/p>\n
Born to a Ghanaian father and a German mother in Berlin, the veteran represented the European country at U19, U20 and U21 level.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, he switched his allegiance to the Black Stars in 2010 \u2013 making his debut in a 1\u20130 victory over Latvia in June 2010.<\/p>\n
