Barcelona’s surprise January signing Kevin-Prince Boateng will wear the No. 19 shirt for the rest of the season at the Camp Nou.

The 31-year-old has arrived on loan from Sassuolo, although he could become a permanent fixture if Barcelona take up the purchase option included in the deal.

The club confirmed his arrival on Monday after a day of speculation and also announced he’ll be taking over the No. 19 from Munir.

Boateng will be officially unveiled on Tuesday but has already given his first impression on life as a Barcelona player.

Boateng is Barcelona’s second signing of the January window, he follows Jeison Murillo in making the move to the Camp Nou on a loan deal.
