Emmanuel Adebayor could be set to leave Tottenham in the January transfer Window. Adebayor who failed to break into Andre Villas-Boas Squad following the arrival of Soldado has been training with the reserves as directed by AVB.
Emmanuel Adebayor could be given an escape route out of Tottenham with Turkish side Besiktas set to renew their interest in January. Besiktas vice president, Ahmet Nur Cebi, has revealed it is the club's intentions to step up their pursuit of Adebayor.
"We were interested in Adebayor in August. The club will chase Adebayor again in January, but it is difficult to recruit such a player," he told Besiktas TV.
The 29-year-old joined Spurs initially on-loan from Manchester City in 2011 before making the move to White Hart Lane permanent the following the summer.
Adebayor, however, has struggled to recapture the form shown in that first season in which he scored an impressive 18 times in 37 appearances.
It is likely Villas-Boas will allow Adebayor to leave the club as he steps up his pursuit to bring a striker in to support Soldado and Jermain Defoe.
One thing however which could pose an obstacle to Adebayor's return to first team football will be his wages that made him refuse to leave Man City despite been frozen out by Mancini and now AVB at White Hart Lane. If Manu as he is fondly called will secure a move to Besiktas, then he would have to face the reality that age is not on his side and prioritize football over financial gains.
