The first picture of Ghana midfielder Derek Boateng signing for Fulham has emerged after GHANAsoccernet.com exclusively reported on Monday that he has signed a two-year contract with Fulham.
Fulham completed the signing of Ghana international on Monday after a long protracted confusion over his status but they grabbed him of a free transfer.
The 30-year-old is a long-standing target of Martin Jol, who has attempted to bring in the Dnipro midfielder on several occasions before.
The Ghana international midfielder had looked set to join the Cottagers in the January transfer window but the move fell through when Dnipro pulled the plug just before the deadline.
Boateng's transfer had to be put on ice previously due to contract disputes with his Ukrainian club, but the deal was completed early this week.
The former Getafe, Cologne and Beitar Jerusalem man penned a two-year deal at Craven Cottage.
Boateng is one of the unnamed players manager Jol revealed he had agreed a deal with at last week's pre-Swansea press conference.
The news comes as a big boost to Jol who has been chasing Boateng for some time with the player, who has been capped 46 times by Ghana, set to bring a big work-rate and plenty of energy into the Cottagers' midfield next season.
