I bought THREE cars in one day during Tottenham spell- KP Boateng confesses

Kevin-Prince Boateng is a player well- known for his extravagant lifestyle on and off the pitch.

The attacker admits he spent years squandering a fortune as he struggled to cope with the trappings of fame.

The 32-year-old has regularly struggled to settle at a club and is now at the 11th club of his career having joined Fiorentina from Sassuolo this summer.

'I'll go back and say: I didn't treat football as a job,' he told.

'I was an idiot. I had talent, but I trained the bare minimum, an hour on the field. I was the last to arrive and the first to leave. I'd be out with friends. I had money, I lived like a king. I'd never been to the gym. That changes your later career.

'I bought three cars in one day when I was at Tottenham: a Lamborghini, a Hummer and a Cadillac. To the youngsters, I tell them: "You cannot buy happiness."
