The highly rated striker has rejected promises given to him by the Porcupine Warriors and has now secured a deal in North Africa
Ghanaian striker Benjamin Bernard Boateng has sealed a three-year deal with Egyptian club Ittihad Alexandria from Ghana Premier League side Elmina Sharks, the two clubs have confirmed.
The 20-year-old was hugely linked with a move to join Asante Kotoko after having a wonderful season with Sharks where his consistent performance helped the club to avoid relegation on final day.
Boateng scored eight goals in 25 games with Sharks and won five Man of the Match awards including the game against Kotoko on final day of the season at the Len Clay Sports Stadium.
With Kotoko losing forwards Augustine Okrah and Naby Keita, Boateng was one of the strikers that club was seriously in talks with to join but he opted for greener pastures.
He has become the second player to join Ittihad after Bechem United captain Moro Salifu also secured a three-year deal with the club a fortnight ago.
