WHAT BOEY SAID
Talking on the social media of the German side, Boey sent a message to Bayern fans: "Servus, FC Bayern fans. I hope to see you soon at the Allianz Arena. See you soon!
"This is a dream come true for me. It’s an honour for me to get to play for such a big club like Bayern. I’m really looking forward to my new team and getting to play with all these great players in the future. As a player, I’m a defender who likes to attack, just as happy being involved upfront as in defence."
