Arsenal legend Emmanuel Adebayor
Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has expressed his admiration for Togo and Arsenal legend Emmanuel Adebayor.
Adebayor officially hung up his boots last year after an illustrious career spanning over two decades.
Although Issahaku did not witness most of Adebayor’s prime years, he draws a lot of inspiration from the way the Togolese icon carries himself.
“Adebayor is one of the players who inspired me a lot. His lifestyle, the way he plays—everything about him kept me motivated,” he told Afro Nallers.
The former Arsenal, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Crystal Palace star is one of the most revered players from Africa and was named African Player of the Year in 2008.
After retiring from football, Adebayor ventured into several businesses in his native Togo and owns one of the biggest farms in Lomé.
Meanwhile, Issahaku is recovering from an injury that has sidelined him for most of the season.
He is expected to return to action next season when the Foxes compete in the English Championship.
