Ghana striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom has started pre-season with Chinese side Jiangsu Suning.

The 24-year-old attacker had sessions with Cosmin Olaroiu’s side on Sunday at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre as they prepare towards the new campaign.

Boakye joined Suning in February this year from Red Star Belgrade and scored twice in eight games as they finished 12th on the league log.

He is expected to play a key role at Jiangsu this coming season with  the possible departure of Brazilian forward Alex Teixeira.
