Kelvin Boateng Set for Austria Vienna Move in Major Career Leap

Kelvin Boateng is on the cusp of a major breakthrough in his football journey, with a move to Austrian Bundesliga giants FK Austria Vienna in the works. The Ghanaian forward, currently with First Vienna FC, is expected to join the top-tier side on a free transfer this summer after an impressive season in the Austrian second division.

At 25, Boateng has emerged as a key figure for First Vienna, netting 12 goals and providing 1 assist in just 20 appearances across all competitions. His sharp finishing, intelligent positioning, and explosive pace have made him one of the league’s most potent attackers.

Despite being temporarily sidelined by an ankle injury, his consistent form has attracted interest from Austria Vienna—a club rich in history and ambition. The move, which will be finalized upon the expiry of his current contract at the end of the 2024–25 season, represents a return to top-flight football for Boateng. He previously featured for FC Porto B and gained experience in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

The transfer not only promises a new chapter in his club career but also boosts his chances of earning a call-up to the Ghana Senior Men’s National Team. With Austria Vienna preparing to reinforce their squad for the upcoming Bundesliga campaign, Boateng could be the attacking spark they need—and a potential future star for the Black Stars.
