Kingsley Boateng has pledged to play for the Black Stars

AC Milan prodigy Kingsley Boateng commits future to Black Stars
AC Milan whiz kid Kingsley Boateng has pledged to
play for the Black Stars after a telephone
conversation with Ghana FA president Kwesi
Nyantakyi, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively
reveal.

This could be a slap in the face for the Italian
Football Federation (FIGC) who was seeking to
convince him to play for the Azzurri after
succeeding with Mario Balotelli-born in Italy to
Ghanaian parents.

The 17-year-old has already featured for Italy’s
Under-19 side in a friendly against Montenegro and
will have to be cleared by Fifa.

“He was very happy when he had a call from
Nyantakyi and can’t wait to play his first match
with the national team so he’s waiting for the
GFA to make his debut,” Boateng’s Guardian
Angel John Tsagli told GHANAsoccernet.com

“When the time is right, I’ll be ready to play
for Ghana even though the Italy wish he joined the
Azzurri.”

Boateng was a big hit for AC Milan during the
pre-season and scored in a friendly back in
August.

He was born in Mpatuam in the Ashanti Region and
sent to Italy at the age of four.
