AC Milan star Kevin-Prince Boateng admits he took his time at Tottenham for granted.

The gifted midfielder admits his wayward behaviour could have wrecked his career.

He told The Sun: "Tottenham didn't give me a chance and I didn't focus on work. But those problems helped me become a better player and man.

"I was on a downer because I wasn't playing and I was going out late to nightclubs and all that bulls**t."
