I wanted to stay, but I didn't just wait to sign an extended contract, I wanted to be part of a project. Unfortunately, it became increasingly clear to me that those at the top of the club did not share the same vision”, he said.

Ghanaian international Emmanuel Boateng who joined the last in the last transfer window will be playing under Rafa Benitez and will be hoping to get on the good side of the manager to have the nod over the other attackers for the starting role.

He is in fine form recently and has scored three goals in the last two matches in the Chinese Super League. In all, he has four goals in seven games and looks on course to bagging more for his side.
