Former Arsenal defender Emmanuel Eboue has revealed how going broke has led him to the brink of suicide. The 34-year-old Ivorian used to make millions in the Premier League but is now sleeping on his friend's floor, washing his clothes by hand and hiding from bailiffs. In an interview with the Sunday Mirror, Eboue told how he lost a divorce battle that left his wife Aurelie with all of their assets and how he has no contact with his daughters Clara, 14, and Maeva, 12. He said: “Every day I wash my clothes. My hands are hard. As though I have been working on a farm. Sometimes I shut off the lights because I don't want people to know that I am inside. The money I earned, I sent it to my wife for our children. In Turkey I earned eight million euros. I sent seven million back home. Whatever she tells me to sign, I sign." Eboue played for Arsenal for seven years before moving to Turkish side Galatasaray in 2011. —Agencies
