He went through Olympique Lyonnais between 2005 and 2007, but John Carew should not return immediately to the capital of Gaul.

The former Norwegian international striker, who also played in the English and Spanish championships, was sentenced on Wednesday to 14 months in prison for aggravated tax evasion.

The Oslo court convicted Carew (43) of failing to declare some 12.8 million crowns (about 1.2 million euros) of income to the Norwegian tax authorities between 2014 and 2019, as well as a fortune personal income of more than 300 million crowns, while he was a de facto tax resident in his country.
