Tottenham have agreed to sign Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor on loan, The Sun understands.
It’s been reported that the Togolese international will undergo a medical at White Hart Lane today.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has been chasing the ex-Arsenal striker all summer with complications over payment of the players wage holding up the deal.
However an agreement has now been reached which will see the North London club pay a larger percentage of Adebayor’s £170,000-a-week-wage than they had originally planned.
Redknapp admitted he needed to add a new striker to his side after watching them lose comprehensively to champions Manchester United on Monday.
The 27-year-olds temporary move to Spurs will certainly add some European pedigree that has been missing from the White Hart Lane attack.
Signed for £25 million two years ago Adebayor has dropped way down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium after numerous fallouts with boss Roberto Mancini.
He’ll have to wait for his Spurs debut though as they face his parent club on Sunday.
Question marks will now hang over the future of Peter Crouch with the England international not in Redknapp’s plans. He could move to Fulham or QPR who are both interested.
