Former Inter Allies forward Victorien Adebayor joined Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities on Thursday to the surprise of many football followers from Danish side HB Køge.

The Nigerien forward left Inter Allies for the Danish side after the 2019/2020 Ghana Premeir League season was truncated signing a three year deal with the Danish side.

According the technical director of HB Køge Per Rud the player is home sick and needs to get closer to his family that is why he has returned to Ghana which is relatively closer to his native Niger.

“In this way, we meet the wishes of Adebayor. For personal reasons, he has a strong need to be close to his family for the time to come. We have listened to that. We have come to the conclusion that if he does not thrive here because he does not have "himself with", it is the right solution, "says HB Køge's director Per Rud.

“Adebayor's first time in Denmark has not been easy. There has been corona. The paperwork with visas and work permits has been a long time coming. We have not yet succeeded in bringing his girlfriend to Denmark. At the same time, he has been hit by injuries, which has meant that he has not been given the desired playing time. Now he gets a period in a club where he is safe. At the same time, he can get in shape and, in addition to football, focus on family life. ”

Before leaving for HB Koge, Victorien Adebayor netted 12 goals in 13 games for Inter Allies in the truncated 2019/2020 league season.
