Ghanaian youngster Richard Boateng has joined promoted Spanish La Liga side Grenada on loan from Udinese.

The 19-year-old moved to Italy from Ghana Premier League side Liberty Professionals two seasons ago.

The highly-rated midfielder has featured in Granada's pre-season matches and is pushing for a place in the team ahead of start of the Spanish League on 20 August.

Boateng's elder brother Derek is a Ghana international midfielder who plies his trade for Ukrainian side FC Dnipro.

The teenager was a member of the Liberty Professionals youth team which finished runners-up at the Gothia Cup in 2008.
