The Boatengs are one of the few examples of two brothers playing for different nations. Jerome turns up for Germany and Kevin-Prince for Ghana. Well, he used to at a time before he had a fallout with the Ghanaian FA in 2014.

Like the Dos Santos brothers, the Boatengs started at the same club, which in this case would be Hertha Berlin.

The elder of the two, Kevin, has donned the kits of nine clubs so far, compared to Jerome's four. They moved up the ranks of the national team from U-17 level to U-21 level, and years on, Jerome has 70 caps for Germany while Kevin has 15 for Ghana. That tells you everything you need to know.

Kevin never got the stability he needed at a club, and despite decent spells at AC Milan and Schalke 04, he just couldn't stick to one club.

However, he is back playing football in the Bundesliga, and has been in stellar form this season for Frankfurt - even better than his brother has been for Bayern!
