Ghanaian striker Kelvin Boateng is reportedly on the verge of making a significant step in his football career, with a summer move to FK Austria Vienna from First Vienna FC.
The 25-year-old, who has impressed in the Austrian second tier, is set to join the top-flight outfit on a free transfer once his contract with First Vienna expires at the end of the 2024-25 season.
Boateng has been a standout performer for First Vienna during the current campaign, registering 12 goals and 1 assist in 20 appearances across all competitions.
Despite being sidelined recently with an ankle injury, his consistent goal-scoring form has caught the attention of Austria Vienna, one of Austria’s most storied clubs.
The move marks a return to top-level football for Boateng, who previously had a stint with FC Porto B and has also played in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
His pace, positioning, and finishing ability could prove valuable for Austria Vienna as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the next Bundesliga season.
Moreover, this transfer could enhance Boateng’s visibility on the international stage, potentially opening doors for a call-up to the Ghana Senior Men’s National Team.
If he maintains his current trajectory, Boateng could soon become a key figure for both club and country.
