Nigerian midfielder, Dickson Etuhu has said that he rejected big monetary offers in Englan but decided to join Swedish club, AIK Stockholm for the purpose of winning titles.
Etuhu said he had offers that could have fetched him more money, but opted for a change of scene so as to win trophies.
“That’s why I’m here – if it was for the money I wouldn’t be here, would I? I feel like I’m as fit as the younger ones. I want to feel like I enjoy football and make an impact.
“In England, I am going to play some games, win some games, but I’m never going to win a title. I want to come here and test myself, a different language, different style, different players and real fans. I am excited; I have got this feeling inside me that I have never had.
“A lot of people said to me ‘stay in England’. I’ve played in England all my career. I wanted something different.”
Etuhu who played at AFCON 2008 and the 2010 FIFA World Cup with Nigeria, has been training with Fulham prior to signing a two-year deal with AIK. [myad]
