Emmanual Eboue is one of the most celebrated Arsenal legends but one bitter man.The Ivorian is nowย swimming in poverty after he lost all his wealth to a woman. The former Ivory Coast star, is presently struggling to keep a roof over his head, after he lost all his assets to his divorced wife, Aurelie, UK Mirror exclusively reports.
Three weeks ago,court ordered Eboue to hand over his only house to his estranged wife.The deadline given has elapsed which means Eboue will forcefully be evicted from a house he bought from his pockets.
Eboue has revealed that he now sleeps on the floor of a friendโs home, in a bid to avoid court officials who may be looking to enforce the judgeโs order. He also travels by bus, and even cleans his clothes by hand because he has no washing machine.
Eboue, currently unable to play football because of ill-health, now suffers from mental illness after contending with the grief of a painful divorce and estrangement from his three kids.
Eboue also reportedly suffers from the shock of losing his grandfather, Amadou Bertin, who raised him, and his brother, NโDri Serge, who was killed in a motorbike accident.
The former Ivory Coast defender who is presently unable to play football because of his ill-health as earlier stated, and a ban imposed on him following a problem with an agent, has expressed his desire to work with his former employers at Arsenal.
โWhen I talk about Arsenal helping me, I am not talking about money, it is about emotional support and opportunity to work there, to help the boys there and be happyโ, he says.
The worried star also spoke about how he cannot afford a Lawyer no more, and how heโs about to lose his Enfield property;
โI canโt afford the money to continue to have any lawyer or barrister. I am in the house but I am scared. Because I donโt know what time the police will come. Sometimes I shut off the lights because I donโt want people to know that I am inside. I put everything behind the door. My own house. I suffered to buy my house but I am now scared. I am not going to sell my clothes or sell what I have. I will fight until the end because it is not fair.โ
In the exclusive interview with Mirror, Eboue says, โI want God to help me. Only he can help take these thoughts from my mind.โ
Ladies and gentlemen, letโs pray for our friend before the worst happens!!!
