January transfer window: 5 unexpected transfers that shocked everyone

#1. Kevin Prince Boateng to Barcelona

The Ghanaian superstar joined Barcelona in an unexpected deal

Catalan giants, FC Barcelona are well-known when it comes to making shocking signings and they lived up to the reputation once again during the winter transfer window, shocking everyone with their decision to sign Ghanaian International, Kevin Prince Boateng from Sassuolo.

The departure of Moroccan striker Munir El Haddadi left a vacant space in the Blaugrana's attack and they decided to secure a loan move for the versatile attacker till the end of the current campaign, with the option to make it permanent during the summer - a move that met a lot of mixed reactions from both football fans and journalists.

Boateng is in a decent form at the moment, having scored 5 goals for Sassuolo in 15 games before leaving for Barcelona and he will be keen to make an impact at the Nou Camp, albeit in a limited role.
