Kevin-Prince Boateng 
pronunciation (pronounced [ˈkɛvɪn pʁɪns bo.aˈtɛŋ]; born 6 March 1987), also known by his short name Prince, is a German-born Ghanaian professional footballer who plays for UD Las Palmas as a midfielder.
Boateng is known for his strength, footspeed and ball-juggling tricks. A 2014 profile on FIFA's official website described Boateng as "blessed with strength, speed, killer instinct in front of goal, and an uncommon flamboyance in the attacking third."
Boateng started his club career with the club Reinickendorfer Füchse in early 1994 at age six prior to signing for Hertha BSC on 1 July 1994 at the age of seven, first playing for them to 31 July 2007 when he was 20 years old.
After emerging from the Hertha feeder teams, Boateng played for Hertha BSC II for two seasons. He was promoted to the Hertha first team squad in the 2005–06 season.
Boateng made his first team debut in a 2–0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt in the second round of the 2005–06 Bundesliga season on 13 August 2005 at the Olympic Stadium, being brought on at the beginning of the second half.
