English Premier League transfer news
After rejecting an outrageous bid from 2022 World Cup hosts Qatar that included 1million pounds a month of wages, Emmanuel Adebayor has emerged as a shock target to Chelsea football club, if reports believed to be are true.
While this won’t be the first exchange of players happening between the London rivals, Tottenham fans wouldn’t be too furious with the idea considering the fact they have, at their helm, one of the most lethal striker in Harry Kane.
Looking at his recent history at the White Hart Lane, the Togolese International was the first choice during a brief spell of Tim Sherwood, however, since his sacking, he has been reduced to the bench by the prolific form of English International Harry Kane.
And with Roberto Soldado also waiting for his chance, the career of Adebayor at White Hart Lane looks set to be over in the coming months. While he was close to joining Sam Allardyce at West Ham in January, the tense relations between both clubs failed any such attempt by the Togolese International.
While this might seem odd, but Adebayor has played under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho before. While that move was on loan when Mourinho signed Adebayor from Manchester City during the former’s Real Madrid days, their mutual relationship would be crucial if Chelsea are to tie Adebayor down with a contract.
Looking at Chelsea and with the unlimited resources they have had at their peril, they can certainly do better than Adebayor in the summer transfer window. But with the financial fair play rule, Chelsea might not splash the cash once again in the summer transfer window.
And with Didier Drogba leaving in the summer after seeing out his 1 year contract, Adebayor – with his pace and innate ability to score goals would not be a bad option as the 2nd choice striker at Stanford Bridge.
