Derek Boateng Defies Getafe, Arrives In England

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.
