Etuhu: Former Manchester City and Fulham midfielder banned for match-fixing

Former Premier League player Dickson Etuhu has been handed a five-year ban from football-related activities in Sweden.

The 37-year-old was found guilty of attempting to influence the outcome of the game between AIK and IFK Gothenburg in May 2017, by offering former AIK goalkeeper Kyriakos Stamatopoulos money to underperform.

Etuhu was found guilty of attempted match-fixing by a Swedish court in December but escaped a jail sentence as he handed a fine and ordered to serve a period of probation.

On Thursday, the Swedish FA announced that the former Super Eagles midfielder has now been banned alongside former IFK Rossjoholm player Alban Jusufi.
