Boakye-Yiadom begs for Juventus chance

Youngster Richmond Boakye-Yiadom has told Juventus to give him the chance to prove himself next season.

The 19-year-old was signed by the Bianconeri last summer in co-ownership deal with Genoa.

He had pre-season training with Juventus’ first team, but he was loaned to Serie B side Sassuolo, where he flourished, for more first team experience.

Boakye’s 11 goals this season helped Sassuolo to secure qualification to the Italian Serie A after winning the second-tier league.

“I’ve always said this, I’m ready for an opportunity, and I’m ready to show what I have,” the Ghana international said.

Boakye has been invited for Ghana’s 2014 FIFA World Cup double-header against Sudan and Lesotho.

He could also represent Ghana at the 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup in Turkey next month.
