Olympiakos-Bound Emenike Likened To Ex-Chelsea Star Drogba But.......
Published: July 03, 2017
Olympiakos-bound Nigerian striker Emmanuel Emenike has been likened to former Chelsea star Didier Drogba by respected Turkish journalist Kadir Onur Dinker of Milliyet.
But he has advised the Greek champions to employ a psychologist who will closely monitor Emenike due to his frequent conflicts with teammates, coaches and fans.
''He also faced some problems with the Nigerian Federation, so he had to withdraw from the national team though he is young,'' Kadir told gazzetta.gr.
''In general, I can say that he is a very sensitive character that is psychologically affected. For me Olympiacos should hire a psychologist to watch him in order to be focused.
''If he has good relationships with his teammates and fans of Olympiakos, he can be the best player in the Greek league.
''Personally I like his dynamic attacking style, like Drogba and I hope he will succeed in Olympiakos.''
The 30-year-old Emenike is due to arrive in Athens on Monday ahead of a routine medical, having agreed personal terms with Olympiacos.
