Adebayor completes move to Tottenham
Emmanuel Adebayor has completed a permanent transfer to Tottenham Hotspur from Manchester City.
Adebayor, 28, scored 17 Premier League goals in a fruitful loan spell with Tottenham last season.
Reports reveals the Togolese striker have signed a three-year contract with the North Londoners.
Adebayor confirmed the move on Twitter: 'I'm back. Tottenham here I come. I'm hungry for goals... Get ready'.
The striker later added on the Spurs website: 'I am pleased to be signing for Spurs on a permanent basis after finally agreeing my departure with Manchester City.
'It may have taken longer than expected but I am delighted to be back at Tottenham Hotspur. I really enjoyed my time here last season and I am hoping we can achieve great things together again.'
Adebayor joined City from Arsenal in 2009, scoring 14 league goals in his first season before falling out of favour with Roberto Mancini and spending time on loan at Real Madrid and Spurs.
The transfer fee is believed to be in the region of £5 million, with Adebayor accepting a significant wage cut on the estimated £170,000 per week he was earning at City.
