“Last year I trained with my friend Darren Moore at Doncaster. It was really good to be in and around (the team atmosphere).”

“I’ve had a few options to go abroad but I feel I want to play in England. I feel like I have unfinished business in England. I would prefer to stay in England for another two years.”

“Right now is the fittest I have ever been. We will see if a good opportunity comes and I’ll assess if I actually want to take it and we’ll go from there.”

The 32-year-old striker left England in 2017 for Beijing Enterprises where he scored 5 goals in 23 appearances.

On the flipside, Victor Anichebe said, he’s willing to own a football club at the end of his career. He said he has a couple of wealthy friends he can partner with to start a football club.

“I would like to go down that route of owning a team.”

“I do have a group of people that are quite wealthy guys and together we could come together and go down that route.”

“I don’t see why we can’t all come together [as players] and buy clubs. I do think that is another way to really affect change. Instead of wanting change, we can be the change ourselves,” he said.
