Football: Kelvin Boateng Joins Wiener Austria

Wiener Austria has announced the first transfer for the upcoming season with striker Kelvin Boateng. The 25-year-old played in the 2nd football league for Vienna last season, scoring eleven goals in 18 league appearances before being injured at the end of the season. Boateng signed a four-year contract with the third-placed Bundesliga team.

Austria pays no transfer fee for Boateng

Boateng joins Austria on a free transfer, as his contract with Vienna expired. Austria's sporting director Manuel Ortlechner expressed his delight over "a fast, athletic striker" who had been under observation for some time. "He should make our offensive play even more flexible with his physicality and depth."
