The footballer, who throughout his career has played for Arsenal F.C., Manchester City, Real Madrid, among others, is in confinement in his villa in Lomé, the capital of Togo.
“I always do things according to the wishes of my heart and not according to the words of others,” said the Togolese striker. “I regret that people compare me to Samuel Eto’o and Didier Drogba wondering why I don’t donate, like I’m the one who brought the coronavirus to Togo, “he added.
“I am not Eto’o or Drogba”
“I am neither one nor the other [en referencia a Eto’o y Drogba], it’s me, Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor. A word of advice, guys, regarding donations, I will not do it. Everything is clear and very simple, “he concluded.
