Dickson Etuhu Rejected English Premier League Clubs Before Moving To AIK

Dickson Etuhu has claimed that he turned down a move to the English Premier League, before his switch to AIK, Sweden.

The former Fulham and Sunderland midfielder has revealed that he has a Swedish girlfriend, which might have contributed to his decision to join a team in the Allsvenskan.

“ I can not go into what other options I had, but I can say that I had been able to stay in England.  It’s not exactly surprising given that I played there for a long time.

“ Now I decided to try something new in a club where I can win something.  What is the point of signing for a team in the Premier League and never win anything? 

“We can win everything with AIK this season.  We can do something crazy.  I’m here to win the titles, ” said Dickson Etuhu to SportExpressen.se.

The Nigeria international signed a two - year deal with AIK in December 2014.
