Former Arsenal and Galatasaray defender Emmanuel Eboue said that he is still battling with depression, three years after he was banned from football by Fifa.
Eboue was given a year ban after failing to pay his ex-agent, Sebastien Boisseau €1 million in debt for his transfer to the Turkish Super Lig in 2011.
The punishment came after he joined Sunderland in March 2016 and had his contract with the Black Cats terminated in less than a month after the move.
