Former Arsenal star Emmanuel Eboue has revealed he is now broke and has severally considered suicide.
In what is an emotional revelation, the Ivoirian has revealed that his bitter divorce has left him penniless and he now sleeps on the floor in a friend’s house.
Eboue played for Arsenal between 2004 and 2011 and has admitted he’s seriously considered taking his own life after financial mismanagement has left him broke and a bitter divorce that has meant he is estranged from his three children.
Speaking to The Sunday Mirror he said: “I want God to help me. Only he can help take these [suicidal] thoughts from my mind. It hurts me a lot [not to see his children]. They used to call me. But now, no contact. It pains me to be alone without them.”
Eboue earned significant income playing for Arsenal at the height of his career, and was also on a reported £1.5 million annually playing for Turkish giants Galatasaray.
However, with his former wife Aurelie being awarded of all the couple’s assets, he has been forced to dodge police and bailiffs following a court order – insisting he hand over his home in Enfield to her.
