KANOUTE PUTS AN END TO HIS CAREER IN EUROPE AND HE WILL GO TO PLAY IN CHINAHE WILL PLAY FOR BEIJING GUOAN
As he promised, Frederic Kanoute has left Seville FC and this ends his successful spell in Europe. The legendary Seville player, arguably the best in recent times and perhaps in history, has signed for Beijing Guoan on a two year deal. The Beijing side currently play in the top division and have played more than a third of their games so far this season.
Kanoute leaves Seville at 34 years old, after playing seven magnificent seasons in which he showed his immense qualities, that before his arrival to Seville he had not shown with the regularity needed from an international player. At the Sanchez Pizjuan his talent emerged, which was essential for Seville FC as we won six trophies, were twice named the best team in the world, qualified three times for the Champions League and fought for a championship. Kanoute will go down in history as a great goal scorer, who scored 6 times in 8 games at the African Cup of Nations and in turn was named African Player of the Year in 2007.
290 games and 136 goals is the record of a special player who he has an alluring elegance both on and off the ptich and also does some tremendous work with disadvantaged people. He goes to the Far East as a star that shines like no other in the heights of the Sanchez Pizjuan, that brightened with his arrival after our decades in the dark. And this brightness, despite the thousands of miles that separate it with Nervion will always remain and will glow with the biggest stars in space.
