da blaze casino： It has been a whirlwind of a career for Kevin-Prince Boateng.
da bwin： Born amidst the rumblings of the Cold War in 1987 to Ghanian parents, he joined Hertha Berlin as a child and progressed through their youth system before making his senior debut for the club at the age of 18.
After two impressive seasons in the Bundesliga with Die Alte Dame, Tottenham Hotspur swooped for Boateng in 2007 yet he would go on to have limited success at White Hart Lane. A positive start to life in north London was severely impacted by the sacking of Martin Jol, who had entrusted his faith in the midfielder before being given his marching orders by Daniel Levy.
The arrival of Juande Ramos saw Boateng become surplus to requirements for Spurs and following a brief loan spell at Borussia Dortmund in 2009, the Ghanian moved to a Portsmouth side managed by Avram Grant.
In what turned out to be a disastrous Premier League campaign for Pompey who were relegated to the Championship after being deducted nine points for going into administration, Boateng proved to be a shining light for a club who were harpooned to the depths of despair.
Despite playing for a side who were by all accounts absolutely dismal, the midfielder still managed to score five goals and provide four assists for his team-mates, therefore showcasing his talent despite the situation in which he had inadvertently found himself stuck in.
It could also be argued that if Boateng had not picked up an injury that saw him miss ten consecutive games for Portsmouth towards the end of the season, the club may have been able to have reached a higher points tally than the 19 which they achieved.
Nevertheless, the former Hertha star had earned himself a spectacular summer move to Italian giants AC Milan in 2010 where he produced arguably the greatest moment of his career to date. In the fourth year of a highly successful period with I Rossoneri, Boateng scored an incredible goal against Barcelona in the Champions League.
With the scores level at 0-0 in the round of 16 first-leg clash, the midfielder chopped the ball away from Eric Abidal before thundering a sublime strike past Victor Valdes. Milan would go on to win the game 2-0 at the San Siro before succumbing to a Lionel Messi-inspired performance in the return fixture in which they were eliminated from the competition.
Such is the fact that this particular goal by Boateng is still remembered by football fans across the world is a testament to a player who has always been blessed with undeniable talent.
After spells at Schalke 04, Las Palmas and Eintracht Frankfurt, the former Spurs man moved to Sassuolo at the beginning of the 2018/19 season. Following a bright start for I Neroverdi which included four goals and two assists in thirteen Serie A games, one of the most remarkable transfer deals of a generation occurred in January.
Boateng would have been forgiven for thinking that someone was playing a practical joke on him when Barcelona called up with an offer to take him on loan from Sassuolo. Yet incredibly, the former Pompey midfielder was a serious subject of interest for the Blaugrana and manager Ernesto Valverde who signed him on a deal until the end of the season.
Since moving to the Camp Nou, the 31-year-old has featured on two occasions, both being in the unfamiliar role of centre-forward against Real Valladolid in La Liga and Sevilla in the Copa Del Rey. Although he may not feature too often as the season draws to a close in Spain, Boateng has been given a priceless opportunity to boost his CV in terms of honours.
With Barcelona steamrolling to yet another La Liga triumph and in a great position to win both the Copa Del Rey and the Champions League, the Ghanian international could end up winning the treble with the Catalan giants, something of which he would never have predicted at the start of the 2018/19 campaign.
In a career which has seen him represent a total of 10 club in just 14 years, the roller-coaster ride that Boateng has been experiencing shows no signs of letting up.
Where will he end up next?
