Chelsea-linked Ghana striker Boakye holding on to England dream

Ghana and Red Star Belgrade striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom has not given up hope of playing in England after failed attempts in the past.

The former Juventus man has long spoken of a desire to grace the Premier League before calling time on his playing career.

In 2017, he was reported to be nearing a move to Chelsea but the transfer ultimately fell through. He was also once linked to Arsenal and Newcastle United.
