He revealed that he was handed a $1 million cash in a brief case along with a rollex watch and was given a private jet to travel from Switzerland to go and sign for Dnipro in Ukraine.
“Yes, it’s true that was my signing-on fee. The owner of Dnipro is one of the richest guys and he is Jewish. He had so much money and my deal was ‘I will come, I won’t come’ and he was like ‘come, whatever you need I will give it to you’. At a point in time, I was having a private jet and that’s something that nobody knows…It was a gift for me making that decision,” he told Fiifi Banson TV.
Samuel Inkoom added that he couldn’t sleep holding a million dollars in cash andwas afriad at the same time.
“To be honest, trust me, I couldn’t sleep. That was the first time seeing money like that. I was excited and I was also scared. I was like he brought the private just, so he can take the money back. So a lot of things were going through my mind. He told me don’t worry, I will make sure you put the money in a perfect account.
