Boateng has made 33 appearances for Hull since joining from Middlesbrough

Hull City midfielder George Boateng thinks he needs to change his style of play if he is to stay a Premier League player when his deal ends this summer.

The former Holland player, 34, sees his future as a holding midfielder.

The Ghana-born veteran told BBC Radio Humberside: "I've started to think, how can I stay at this level. I'm thinking, do I need to alter my game?

"The way I played against Everton is probably the way I need to be playing to stay in the Premier League."

But the former Coventry, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough enforcer has revealed that he has not had any talks about a new deal.

He said: "No-one has said anything because as you can imagine, the club has bigger much more important issues.

"For me, at my age and in my situation, if I want to get a new contract either here or somewhere else I need to be playing and prove my worth and at the moment that's simply not a fact because I haven't played enough games."
