Boateng has settled in well- Randy Abbey

It's just three days into Ghana's World Cup training camp and new member of the family, Kevin-Prince Boateng has settled in well. The camp is just two players short of the 30-man preliminary squad as at Wednesday morning in Paris as Sulley Muntari is expected to arrive today. But Boateng's smooth transition from a German international into a Ghana international has been described as positive by Ghana Football Association spokesperson, Randy Abbey. "He has really settled in well and goes about training normally just like every other player. "There is nothing to distinguish between him and any other squad member "The whole squad has been helpful and they are all positive. It's good to have such unity ahead of the finals." The 23 year-old attacker secured his nationality switch just weeks ago after the Ghana Football Association put in a request. "I was still holding out hopes of being picked for Germany and playing alongside my brother Jerome, so I turned Ghana down. But now I’ve made a rational decision, with my head rather than my heart," he said. Ghana are paired in group D together with Serbia, Australia and Germany, a side that Boateng could have one day played for before opting for Ghana. "I think Germany are favourites, although you have to fancy the Serbs too. But I know we have quality in the team, and I’m convinced we can spring a surprise," the Black Stars player said. Boateng is now focusing on his attention on lining up for Ghana at the World Cup in South Africa. "Obviously, the Germany game is a special one for me. But I can promise the Ghana fans this: I play to win, even against my brother – or my father or mother, for that matter." Source: Ghanafa.org
