Schalke 04 manager Jens Keller has hailed the leadership qualities of Kevin-Prince Boateng.

The former Tottenham Hotspur man has become an important piece for the side, helping them to fourth on the table.
Schalke manager Jens Keller is full of praise for his summer signing and labels him as real leader.
ââ¬ÅThere are many players out there who think they are leaders, but address issues through the media. Kevin isnââ¬â¢t like that, he addresses problems within the squad,â⬠Keller said.
ââ¬ÅIf you look at his body language at the pitch, the younger players can always look at him as an example.
ââ¬ÅEven when things arenââ¬â¢t going so well, he is always pushing on, he has always got his head up. Thatââ¬â¢s why he such an important player for us.ââ¬
