[KingFemzee]

Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor has
given Andre Villas-Boas a boost by making
himself unavailable for the African Nations Cup
in January.

Adebayor, 28, threatened to quit the Togo national team if the players were not paid money owed to them by the nation's federation.

"If this does not change then I will retire from
international football and many will stop playing for our country," he had said.

Following the failure to resolve the issue, the
former Arsenal and Manchester City player has
ruled himself out of the tournament.

A statement released by Adebayor's public
relations officer Amedodji Blaise read: "Togo
international and captain of the Sparrow Hawks
Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor hereby brings to the
notice of the general public that he is
suspending his international career with Togo
team."
