FK Austria Vienna signs striker Boateng – a new source of hope!

FK Austria Vienna has landed a promising new signing. Kelvin Boateng, a 25-year-old striker, is moving from First Vienna FC to Vienna-Favoriten and will be the first transfer for the 2025/26 season. This signing could be of great value for the violets, as the talented attacker has already scored 21 goals in 43 second division games since moving to First Vienna in 2023 - an impressive record! Last year he scored eleven times in 18 appearances, making him one of the most sought-after players in the second division.

The expectations for Boateng are high. Sports director Manuel Ortlechner describes him as a fast and athletic striker who should make the team's offensive game more flexible through his physicality and depth. “The offensive game should become more dynamic,” explains Ortlechner, hoping that Boateng’s skills will give the team new impetus.

A contract until 2029

The striker's new contract runs until the summer of 2029, which speaks for long-term planning and underlines Austria Wien's ambitions. Boateng commented on his new challenge and emphasized that he greatly appreciates the club's efforts. The trust placed in him could be a decisive factor in his success in the Bundesliga.

An interesting point is that Boateng has already gained experience in the Generali Arena in the past - on August 16, 2024, he scored a goal to help his former team score against SV Stripfing. Now he will be on the other side and try to be successful for Austria Vienna with his new colleagues.

The path to the violets

The move is not only a step in Kelvin Boateng's career, but also a clear signal from the Violets, who want to strengthen their squad for the coming season. The hosts have often experienced ups and downs in the last season. Now it's time to bring a breath of fresh air into the team and put together a powerful team with young talent and experienced players.

Overall, Boateng's new addition is an exciting development for all FK Austria Wien fans. It remains to be seen how the young player will perform in the new league.
