Kevin-Prince Boateng nears Las Palmas switch

Black Stars outcast, Kevin Prince Boateng is close to completing a free transfer to Spanish La Liga side Las Palmas.

According to Spanish daily, AS Marca, Las Palmas are hoping to make Boateng a marquee signing who will help them improve on last season’s 11th placed finish.

The Canary Islands outfit are in advanced negotiations with Kevin Prince Boateng after the Ghana international’s contract at AC Milan came to end last month.

Las Palmas president Miguel Ángel Ramírez has been in talks with the player, and a deal could be concluded this week.

Boateng is a free agent and would cost Las Palmas no transfer fee.

If the deal goes through, Las Palmas would be Boateng’s seventh club.

The brother of Bayern midfielder Jêrome has turned out for Hertha Berlín, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund, Portsmouth, AC Milan and Schalke during his career.

During his final season at Milan Boateng played just seven matches for the Rossoneri, where in his previous spell he enjoyed the best form of his career, scoring 16 goals in 67 games.
