Ghana international, Derek Boateng has made a career move from Swedish club AIK Solna to Israeli club, Betar Jerusalem.

The Black Stars midfielder has completed a three-year deal with the Betar Jerusalem for the coming season.

Betar manager Vladimir Shklar announced the signing after brief negotiations that took place over the weekend.

Boateng, who was reported to have had an offer from French Ligue 1 side, Marseille is the only Ghanaian signing at Betar.
