Tottenham targets Adebayor

[emezico]

Tottenham Boss, Harry Redknapp, has made a move to bring Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor to Tottenham - and wants City to help fund the deal!

Redknapp is keen to do a deal and there have been discussions between the clubs - although any transfer is dependent on reaching agreement on his wages.

City want £14million for the ex-Arsenal striker, but may be prepared to loan him out if a club meets his £175,000-a-week wages.

Tottenham are interested in a one-year loan with an option to buy, but will only pay £75,000-a-week - meaning City would have to continue paying the player a staggering £100,000-a-week.

That leaves both sides miles apart, but Spurs' next approach could be to offer a loan fee to sign Adebayor, and there is genuine hope the deal could be done.
