AC Milan whiz kid Kingsley Boateng has pledged to play for the Black Stars after a telephone conversation with Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal. This could be a slap in the face for the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) who was seeking to convince him to play for the Azzurri after succeeding with Mario Balotelli-born in Italy to Ghanaian parents. The 17-year-old has already featured for Italy�s Under-19 side in a friendly against Montenegro and will have to be cleared by Fifa. �He was very happy when he had a call from Nyantakyi and can�t wait to play his first match with the national team so he�s waiting for the GFA to make his debut,� Boateng�s Guardian Angel John Tsagli told GHANAsoccernet.com �When the time is right, I�ll be ready to play for Ghana even though the Italy wish he joined the Azzurri.� Boateng was a big hit for AC Milan during the pre-season and scored in a friendly back in August. He was born in Mpatuam in the Ashanti Region and sent to Italy at the age of four.
