Ghanaian forward, Kevin Prince Boateng has made an interesting revelation about his international career after admitting he left the Bundesliga at the wrong time.

Prince Boateng's career looked promising at the age of 20 with European giants chasing after his signature while he was playing for Hertha Berlin.

The German-born decided to leave for Tottenham in England and in an interview with Hertha Berlin, he revealed he should have stayed a season or two to help his career with the Germany national team.

"I was 20 years old, a regular - it was all good. I was at home, my family was here. I should have stayed here for another two or three years, then maybe I would have become a German national player,” Boateng told the club’s official website.

Having played for Germany at the U19, U20 and U21 levels, K.P Boateng decided to switch allegiance to Ghana in 2010.

He became the prodigal son of German football after a tackle on Michael Ballack led to the then Germany captain's absence at the 2010 World Cup.

Prince Boateng was however a hero in Ghana after a successful World Cup with the Black Stars in South Africa.

That will change four years later when he and Sulley Muntari were sacked from the Black Stars camp for indiscipline at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
