EMMANUEL EMENIKE Wants Russian Passport!
Published: May 17, 2012
Nigeria international Emmanuel Emenike was a guest of Russian television station Russia 2 on Wednesday.
Interviewed by the anchor of the programme, Emenike revealed his desire to own a Russian Passport.
''Why not?" the Spartak Moscow attacker was quoted as saying by championat.com.
Emenike, who finished as top goalscorer for the red and white despite his arrival in August, also revealed that Cameroonian super star Samuel Eto'o is his role model.
He said: ''The gesture, which I showed in the match with Zenith St Petersburg, I really learned from Eto'o. I follow Eto'o because he is my favorite African footballer. I try to imitate him in everything.''
Despite his open affection for Samuel Eto'o, the Spartak Moscow forward says he is not interested in moving to Anzhi Makhachkala should they table a bid for him in the summer.
