Ex-Black Star Kevin-Prince Boateng could have reached Lionel Messi's level - Dick van Burik

The Ghanaian recently made a return to Hertha Berlin where he will play for a year

Retired former Dutch professional footballer Dick van Burik believes Kevin-Prince Boateng had the potential to reach Lionel Messi's level.

The former centre-back captained Hertha Berlin and played with the Ghanaian in the same team between 2005 and 2007.

The West African, recently, made a return to the team where he started his career and signed a one-year contract. The now 47-year-old Dutch concedes the qualities of the attacker in the German team were world-class and much was expected from him.
