Danish fold HB Køge has announced that Nigerien striker Victorien Adebayor will join Legon Cities on a short term deal.

Køge announced that Victorien Adebayor will spend the rest of the year with the Ghana Premier League outfit.

“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. ”

Adebayor joined HB Køge in December on a three-year contract from Inter Allies.

“We have now put together a plan together with Legon Cities FC. It must ensure the framework for Adebayor’s development. He is an exciting player and we still believe in the model with players from Africa and that we can integrate them.

He continued: “Effiong Nsungusi is on the verge of his breakthrough in HB Køge, and Frank Assinki, with whom we have a long contract, is currently playing for the Ghanaian U20 national team at the Africa Cup of Nation. They have shown that they can handle the transition from Ghana to Europe, ”he ended.

Adebayor was a huge figure in the Premier league before leaving for Køge, he netted 23 goals in 27 games for Inter Allies during his two year stint with the Club and was the league’s top scorer in the truncated League last season.

He becomes the club’s latest signing this window after Hans Kwoffie, Richmond Antwi, Shamsu Alhassan ‘Diago’ and Justice Anane.
