33 years old Togolese veteran and former Manchester City forward, Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor has said his move to Premier League side Crystal Palace in 2016 was the ‘worst decision’ of his career.
Adebayor who joined Crystal Palace on a six-month loan spell in January last year and released at the end of that season after scoring just once in 15 appearances admits the move could not have gone any worse.
According to him, “I had some great experiences in England in clubs who are among the best in the country”.
“The only error that I made was to sign for Crystal Palace in January 2016”.
“I did it just to please my entourage, who were saying to me: “Manu, you have to start playing again!” It was the worst decision of my career”.
Adebayor, who currently plays for Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir who finished second in the Super Lig behind Besiktas, scored a total of 97 goals and made 37 assists during his time in the Premier League, in which he played for Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham before his short spell at Selhurst Park.
