3 reasons why Kevin-Prince Boateng can be a useful player to Barcelona

#2 Versatility

The attacker can also function in several areas of the pitch

Before Barcelona decided to lure Boateng to the Nou Camp this winter, many things were put into consideration. One aspect of his game that actually convinced the Catalan giants to sign him is his ability to impress in multiple roles and positions on the football pitch.

The Ghanaian is a highly versatile player who has played in several positions in his career. He started as a central midfielder before moving into a more offensive midfield role. After impressing as an attacking midfielder, he also played as a supporting striker, a striker as well as a winger.

During his time at Sassuolo this term, Boateng was deployed as a false-nine and he impressed in the role bagging 5 goals and 2 assists for the Serie A side in 15 appearances before leaving for the Nou Camp. With great versatility, the attacker will give Ernesto Valverde plenty of options.
