German international Jerome Boateng has indicated that he will be visiting Ghana for the first time in the summer.
According to the 2014 World Cup winner, he will be visiting Ghana with his daughters and family members.
“I have been to Africa but I didn’t go to Ghana,” the Bayern Munich defender told DW.
“I will go there this summer with my daughters and family members.”
Although yet to visit Ghana, Jerome, younger brother of Black Stars and Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Kevin-Prince Prince, holds the country dearly in his heart.
“The tattoo started when I was 16-year-old,” Jerome said.
“I was with my two older brothers and they said ‘today we are all going to do the same tattoo but don’t tell your mother’.
“So we all went and had our bodies tattooed.
“It was the continent of Africa with Ghana inside.”
Boateng, born to a Ghanaian father and a German mother in Berlin, the 29-year-old won the Fifa World Cup with Die Mannschaft in 2014.
He has capped 68 times for Germany, scoring one goal in the process.
In 2010, Jerome Boateng and Kevin-Prince Boateng made history as the first brothers to play against each other at the FIFA World Cup – they clashed for the second time at Brazil 2014.
