Kevin-Prince Boateng, a former Ghanaian midfielder, says that early in his career, he was given the chance to join Arsenal.
Boateng revealed that an agent from Arsenal approached him with a transfer request while he was a player of the Hertha Berlin youth team.
Kevin-Prince revealed on Rio Ferdinand’s Vibe with Five program that despite the alluring possibility, his parents and siblings weren’t in favor of the change.
“Back in the day when I was 17, I could have joined Arsenal. This guy came to talk to me but my mom and brothers were like no. I stayed in Berlin.
“I was playing for the German u-18 and this guy came to me that he is an Arsenal scout and that Arsenal were interested but my mom and brothers were like its too early,” he said.
