He has also proven his skills as a player at the highest level for several years. Overall, everything about this transfer is right.” Fredi Bobic said when Boateng returned, as per Bundesliga.

His outstanding performance saw him secure a transfer to Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur in July 2007. According to reports, Spurs paid 4.5 million euros for his transfer.
The midfielder’s success in England was limited, and so he was sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund. During his loan period, Boateng impressed Dortmund, who were willing to sign him. However, the German club let him return to Tottenham Hotspur because of financial constraints.
Portsmouth, who were at the time playing in the Premier League, signed Boateng from Spurs for around 4 million euros.

He immediately joined AC Milan on loan without making any appearance for Genoa. The Serie A giants signed Boateng permanently in 2011 on a four-year contract.
