"Ghana has talent but how to use them has been a problem,” he deduced.
Eboue, who hasn’t played a professional football match since May 2014 after leaving Galatasaray, has featured for several top clubs in Europe including KSK Beveren, Sunderland and Arsenal where he spent seven years between 2004 and 2011.
Eboue has also fallen on rocky times in his personal life in recent years.
Reports revealed earlier this year how the ex-Ivory Coast international had been left with nothing after an acrimonious divorce battle with wife Aurelie.
It emerged Eboue spends his days hiding from bailiffs, sometimes sleeps on the floor of a friend’s home, travels by bus and even cleans his clothes by hand because he has no washing machine.
Then in July, Eboue was arrested outside his home in Enfield on suspicion of arson and spent a night in jail before he was released with "no further action".
