City striker Adebayor joins Tottenham on loan

Tottenham Hotspur have completed the deal to sign Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor on loan.

The Togo international has been shown the Eastlands door after being informed he is not in the plans of manager Roberto Mancini for the season.

Having impressed in a loan spell with Spanish giants Real Madrid last season, where he netted eight goals, the former Arsenal striker has been continually linked with a move to the North London side Spurs.

Now according to The Daily Mirror, the 27-year-old has landed himself a lifeline by Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, who has offered him a loan deal.

Adebayor will now undergo a medical at the club before completing his move to White Hart Lane.

Spurs have already agreed to pay a larger percentage of his £170,000-a-week wages than they were originally willing to splash out. 

However, it will not be in time for him to make his Tottenham debut against his parent club Manchester City on Sunday.
