K.P Boateng joins Anelka, Abreu, Zlatan on ultimate journeyman list

Kevin-Prince Boateng moved to Besiktas Istanbul on loan until the end of the season from Italian Serie A side Fiorentina.

The Turkish first division is already his 13th club in his 16 year professional career and he joins the ultimate journeyman list of players who have moved clubs more than 10 times.

He joins the likes Nicholas Anelka,Zlatran Ibrahimovic, Eidur Gudjohnsen and Uruguayan Sebastien Abreu which I think most Ghanaian will remeber but not so fondly as he scored the lasst spot kick trhat prevent Ghana from making a historic World Cup semi final appearance.

But there are even bigger migratory birds than the former Ghanaian international.
