Tottenham linked with bizarre move to bring Emmanuel Adebayor back to the club
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for their former striker.
The transfer window may have closed for another few months but get ready for the craziest rumour of the summer, with Italian website Tutto Mercato Webclaiming that Tottenham Hotspur are interested in bringing Emmanuel Adebayorback to the club for free.
Yes, this is the same Adebayor who was only released from his contract at White Hart Lane last summer having not played for the club since the previous May; the same player who Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino opted not to include in his 25-man Premier League squad last season or even hand a shirt number to.
And yet here we are, almost exactly a year on, with TMW claiming Tottenham want to further strengthen their forward line with a performance-related deal for Adebayor.
Contact is said to have been made between the two parties but this one is surely not going to happen.
After all, Tottenham recently added Vincent Janssen to their striking options and despite Harry Kane’s struggles he will return to form sooner rather than later.

Of course we could all be surprised, with Adebayor making a bizarre comeback, but it seems highly unlikely given his history at the club and the fact that he struggled to make any significant impact at his last side Crystal Palace.
Instead Pochettino should promote from within, giving Shayon Harrison the chance to impress from the bench rather than making a move that would go down as one of the most unexpected ever.

He actually comes across very well in this interview I think.

If this guy is that good, am glad at least we made an effort to get him. Shows that our scouting system is pro active and informedI don't think that's true at all.
He met one club, saw what they had to offer and fucked the others off before even meeting them, then complains their offers "lacked depth". How the fuck does he expect depth to be shown when he hasn't met them?
"I literally let me agent sort it all out", oh gosh, you can bet who offered a nice bonus for the agent then. Guy is a young, rich idiot who palms off his life onto others. We'll see where he is in 5 years.
Then his agent is the idiot.
Oliver Burke: Why I turned down Spurs and Chelsea for Bundesliga test
This is very disappointing to read - but he's an idiot if he considers Tottenham and Chelsea's handling of youth to be the same.
His loss. Joined a bunch of franchise arseholes.
Another option is also Mane - much needed pace and ability to run at defenders
Would fit Poch's style quite well
February 2016. He would cost 40-45M euros
Good find that! But to be fair to Arcy, go to page one of the Harry Kane thread when he was saying in effect, 'do not write this man off'.
