Watch Kevin-Prince Boateng’s first interview after joining Barcelona

Ghanaian forward Kevin-Prince Boateng has express his excitement after signing a six month loan deal with FC Barcelona.

Boateng, 31 completed a shocking move from Sassuolo in the Italian Serie A to Barcelona in a six months loan deal, with the option of an extension in the summer.

Kevin-Prince Boateng scored five goals in 15 appearances for Sassuolo, whom he joined in the summer, and has previous experience in La Liga where he was more prolific.

He will be a backup for Luis Suarez who has been having an inconsistent season.

Barca were in need of attacking reinforcements following Munir El Haddadi’s departure to Sevilla earlier this month and linked to a number of strikers including Alvaro Morata, Fernando Llorente and Carlos Vela, but Catalans settled on Kevin-Prince Boateng.

Boateng spent the 2016/17 campaign in La Liga, netting 10 goals in 25 starts for Las Palmas.
