Milan have re-signed their former midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng on a six-month contract until the end of the season.

Boateng, who played for Tottenham and Portsmouth, joined Schalke in August 2013 for €10m (£7.3m) but fell out with the club who suspended him indefinitely last May.

The Ghanaian international has been training at Milanello since September and was freed from his contract with the German side last month allowing him to join the sixth-placed club in Serie A where he won the 2011 Scudetto.

“AC Milan announce the signing of Kevin Prince Boateng, who has signed a contract until 30 June 2016,” the club confirmed.

It tweeted: “Now it’s official: welcome back.”

Boateng is no stranger to controversy, having been sent home from the World Cup in Brazil after trading insults with the Ghana coach James Appiah.
