Boateng disputed assertions that, the Chinese league was of low quality, adding that more money was being invested in getting quality players to ply their trade there.

“Moving to China was not a move motivated by money, but a bid to get more playing time and stay fit for selection with 2019 African Cup of Nations approaching.

The “Oluwa Dey” hitmaker had a bit of frustrating times with injuries, which kept him off the pitch for some time in Spain.
