Former Arsenal star Emmanuel Ebue has been banned from all football activities for one year by FIFA. Eboue who is signed with Sunderland less than a month ago on a short term contract has been released by the club due to the ban.
According to FIFA, the Ivory Coast star was banned for failing to pay his former agent. The 32-year-old defender,was banned by Fifa’s disciplinary committee after a protracted dispute involving non-payments to his former representative Sébastien Boisseau. In a statement, Sunderland said: “Eboué signed a contract with Sunderland AFC until the end of the current season and the club has therefore given notice of its intention to terminate the contract. The player has two weeks in which to appeal this decision.”
According to the governing body, Eboué was originally ordered to pay the undisclosed amount in July 2013, then fined SFr30,000 (£21,650) in September 2014 for failing to comply with the decision and given four months to settle the debut. Recall that Sunderland sacked the former England midfielder Adam Johnson last month also. He was sacked following his admission of sexual activity with a child, and the player has since been jailed.
