'Then there was a period in which I reflected a lot and spoke with my agent.   'He helped me a lot. Dortmund is a great chance for me.   'Klopp is the best option for me - we clicked immediately. 'My head tells me that this is my last chance and I don't know if I will get another one if I don't take it.' The 21-year-old struggled to get a game in the Barclays Premier League after leaving Hertha for White Hart Lane, but claims he did benefit from his spell in England.   'It was a good school,' he said in an interview with Kicker magazine. 'The first thing you have got to do in England is think backwards.   'Ledley King was my inspiration - he is a great defender with fine positioning.   'To train with great footballers like Luka Modric and Dimitar Berbatov was great fun. It is fun to just watch them.' Boateng hopes he can make his loan move to Dortmund permanent at the end of the season and force his way in to the Germany under-21 squad for the European Championship this summer. 'I am concentrating on these six months at the moment and we will have to wait and see what comes after that,' he added.   'If I play well, I hope I can get a full-time job with Dortmund from July 1.   'I will give everything to be able to play for Germany again.'
