“I think I left my impression at Schalke; even today when you read about the club my name is still mentioned. There has never been a player at the club that has created as much interest as me; this is the impression I’ve left behind. Positive or negative, I always tried to do my best to help the team. I could not do anymore”

Kevin-Prince Boateng who was not pleased with the headline took to his Twitter page to debunk the claims tweeting:

“Just for the record never said anything like it!! Because I respect the big players of Schalke in the past!!”
