Former professional footballer, FIFA licensed agent and author Victor Ehimen joins the BallBusiness Podcast to share his journey from the Nigerian league to Zamalek, Qatar, Cameroon and Hannover 96. We talk about his book, Marcus: An African Boy's European Dream, and the realities young African players face when they move to Europe: racism, injuries with no proper rehab, the foreign player quota, black tax, and the pressure of not wanting to go home a failure.
