Ghana International, Emmanuel Boateng has made a return to his former club Rio Ave in the Primeira Liga.
The 26-year old has re-joined the Portuguese side on a two-year deal on a free after his contract at Chinese club Dalian Yifang was terminated.
He featured 37 times and scored 11 goals in the Chinese Super League during his three-year stay.
Boateng makes a return to the first club he joined in Europe, after leaving Ghanaian lower tier side Charity Stars.
