Ghana midfielder Derek Boateng set to undergo Fulham medical
Posted On Wednesday, 2nd January 2013
Derek Boateng is reported to have arrived in England to complete his move to Fulham
Ghana midfielder Derek Boateng is on the verge of undergoing a medical before completing a move to English side Fulham, GHANAsoccernet.com can confirm.
Boateng is undergoing a medical on Wednesday ahead of a January move to Fulham, Goal.com has reported and has been confirmed by friends of the player.
Boateng, who has been out of favour at Ukrainian club Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk – managed by Juande Ramos – this season, was close to a move to Craven Cottage in the summer, only for talks to break down on deadline day.
But in early December Goal.com exclusively revealed the west Londoners had resumed talks with the Ghana international midfielder with a view to completing the protracted deal in the New Year.
Now it appears an agreement has been reached and, barring any late complications, the deal should be finalised and announced in the coming days.
Martin Jol is a long-term admirer of Boateng, who can also play at centre-back, and is looking to add protection to a defence which has conceded 37 goals in 21 Premier League games this season.
The 29-year-old has enjoyed a nomadic career, including spells at Panathinaikos, Beitar Jerusalem, Bundesliga side Koln and La Liga outfit Getafe, as well as earning 40 caps for his country.

@i-man,pls take it easy…is jst his opinion.
Glory be to God. Welcome to epl and Hapy stay bro.
ALL THE BEST BUT I THINK HE IS WASTING HIS TIME. HE SHOULD GO FOR HIS RETIREMNT BREAD. IF ESSIEN IS 35/36 HOMW OLD DO U THINK D BOAT IS? HOW MANY GOALS HAS HE SCORED FOR GH?
Congrats with the medical. But that doesn’t change the fact that derek’s is just an ordinary sub-par footballer. Who in his best days can make it to the bench for a mediocre ukrainian club. In his off-days he didn’t make it to the first team of Dnipro. So im really flabbergasted about this transfer. I hope Fulham sees something we don’t see.
it was this same negative statements some Ghanaians were making when Kwadjo Asamoah was moving to Juventus. Derek is on the verge of moving and this same stup*d negative statements are coming up.
what the he*ck is wrong with some Ghanaians. If he is not your best player and you can’t wish him well pls jx stfu!!!
