Merseyside rivals set to compete for World Cup star
Liverpool and Everton could be set to battle it out for the services of Portsmouth start Kevin-Prince Boateng after the midfielder’s prospective move to Genoa broke down.
According to the player’s agent Mario Miele, Boateng is also a target for West Ham United, Stoke City and Turkish club Besiktas.
Boateng, 23, earned widespread praise for his vibrant performances for Ghana at this summer’s World Cup and, while he would welcome a reunion with Avram Grant at West Ham, he would likely jump at the chance to compete at the top end of the league with either Liverpool or Everton.
Miele told lalaziosiamonoi.it: “We will have to wait and see what happens now over the coming days. The market is slow right now, even if there are a lot of clubs interested in the player.
“A few days ago I heard that Liverpool and Everton were keen, and also Besiktas. Today I have read that Stoke are interested, but I know nothing about that.”
