Nigeria international Ayo Makinwa has now admitted that he chose to join Chinese League One club Beijing Baxy for the cash and not for footballing reasons.

“In those circumstances, I lost a lot of time. Lazio, they thought I was injured and had spread this rumour, so it was difficult getting a team.
“There was the possibility of playing in the Serie B but I did not want.
“I have chosen China, especially for the money, because I am at the end of my career and I must think about this.”
