Comment on his preferred club in the English topflight, Boakye Yiadom said, "It doesn’t matter the club I will play but any of the EPL clubs will do"
"Some time back there were some interest from clubs like West Bromwich Albion, Chelsea, Newcastle United and a couple of others but the move couldn’t happen so I had to move to China", he concluded.
