Assou-Ekotto admits he’s only in it for the cash

SPURS defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto has admitted what most players would be afraid to say – he’s in it just for the money.

The Cameroon international said soccer wasn’t his passion, it was merely a job, and accused other footballers of “lying” in front of the TV cameras.

In a remarkably candid interview, Assou-Ekotto, who supplied the pass for Tom Huddlestone’s winning goal against Bolton on Saturday, attacked what he called the hypocrisy of the Premier League.
