Stars left-back Kissi Boateng joins Mazembe

Black Stars left-back Richard Kissi Boateng has joined DR Congo outfit TP Mazembe on a five-year deal. A statement of the official website of the four-time African champions confirmed that Kissi Boateng inked the deal last week after fruitful negotiations with his parent club, Berekum Chelsea. �The former midfielder Berekum Chelsea has signed a five-year contract with TP Mazembe and will play in the CAF Champions League, � the Congolese club stated. The 24-year old, currently with the Black Stars in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on a training tour for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations becomes the fourth Ghanaian to join the Lubumbashi-based club. The deal will serve a major boost to the defender, who will be making his bow at the Africa Cup of nations later this month in South Africa. Last week, �Les Corbeaux� snapped up Asante Kotoko right-back Yaw Frimpong also on a five-year deal. The other two Ghanaians with the DR Congo champions are Gladson Awako (formerly of Berekum Chelsea) and former Asante Kotoko midfielder Daniel Nii Adjei, who joined last year.
