Emmanuel Adebayor deal on as Tottenham give way

Emmanuel Adebayor is believed to be on his way to Tottenham after the club agreed to pay a larger chunk of his £170,000-a-week wages than had been first suggested. The Manchester City striker is reported to be having a medical at the club today ahead of the move.

Internazionale are thought to have attempted to hijack the deal but the 27-year-old former Arsenal striker has been convinced that Tottenham remain ambitious despite rumours that Luka Modric could be on his way out.
