Breaking news: Tottenham Hotspur sign Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor on loan deal
Tottenham Hotspur have signed Manchester City striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Togo-c3022 international will be arriving at White Hart Lane for the upcoming season.
The appointment of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Craig-Bellamy-c9471 and expected both the strikers to leave.
Having arrived at the Eastlands in the summer of 2009 for a fee of £25 million on a long-term five year deal from Premier League rivals Arsenal, Adebayor has made a total of 43 appearances in all competitions, scored 19 goals and provided 3 assists.
In the January transfer window of last season, Adebayor was loaned out to La Liga giants Real Madrid for the remainder of the season. The Togolese striker did surprisingly well at the Bernabeu, making 22 appearances in all competitions and scoring 8 goals.
Despite a decent performance for Madrid, Jose Mourinho did not make an attempt to sign Adebayor on a more permanent basis and so he returns to Manchester City. However, sources reveal Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has agreed to take the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429
striker on a loan move for the upcoming season.
Redknapp already has an abundance of strikers at White Hart Lane, with the likes of Robbie Keane, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639, and Niko Kranjcar all competing for a place in the starting line-up. However, the English manager is looking
to offload some of his strike force, which is why he has agreed to sign Adebayor.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Crouch-c29741 has also been linked
with a move away, having failed to make much of an impression last season.
Last but not least, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Niko-Kranjcar-c27926 is most likely expected to be on his way to the Stadium of Light after Sunderland boss Steve Bruce admitted interest in the Croatian forward. That leaves Redknapp with space to bring in another striker and he seems to have
decided on Adebayor.
