Derek Boateng Defies Getafe, Arrives In England

Derek Boateng has arrived in England most likely to hold talks with clubs

Ghana midfielder Derek Boateng has arrived in England, defying Getafe about a proposed move to Ukraine, to seek a move to the Premier League.

GHANAsoccernet.com understands that the enforcer touched down on Saturday apparently to hold talks with a club, most likely West Brom, who have expressed keen interest in signing him.

The 28-year-old’s move is in direct defiance of his Spanish club who have already agreed a move for him to join Dnipro.

Boateng has refused to speak with the Ukranians over his personal terms as he is keen on a move to England.

His arrival in England signals that there is an imminent agreement over his move to the Premier League.

West Brom reportedly made a bid for the Getafe midfielder late last week.

However, the deal would be difficult with Getafe already agreeing £7million for Boateng with Dnipro while the English side are only willing to pay £4m.

Along with the West Brom interest, Sunderland and Stoke City are also suggested to looking at the Panathinaikos and FC Cologne man.
