Boateng Chase

The rumour doing the rounds this morning infers that we`ve held talks with a midfielder who is keen to get out of Ukrainian football.

Derek Boateng, currently on the books of the Ukrainian side Dnipro, has held talks with Villa and Fulham about a proposed £2 million move to the Premier League.

The 29 year-old Ghanaian has now, if the rumour is correct, to decide between a new life in London or in the Midlands.
