Former West Africa Football Academy attacker Charles Boateng has completed a transfer to United Soccer League side Real Monarchs SLC.
Boateng, 19, is a Ghanaian forward who comes on loan from the West African Football Academy, and he’s expected to develop on the wing, according to a club-issued release.
The second-tier American club also officially announced the arrival of Sebastian Velasquez and Nick Besler.
Boateng's transfer is subject to league and federation approval.
“As we continue to build the Monarchs for the 2017 season, we see a lot of potential in the players we’ve added and these three players all add their own qualities to the style we are looking to play as an organization,” Real Salt Lake General Manager Craig Waibel said.
“We saw bringing back Sebastian as a great opportunity to inject a known commodity with MLS experience who still has room to develop as a player and he fits a need in our midfield. Nick Besler has shown a lot of potential and has two years of professional experience and Charles Boateng is a good young prospect who we think can develop into a player who can make an impact on the wing.”
