    Adebayor heading back to North London

    The former Arsenal hit man could be on his way to Spurs this summer.

    Emmanuel Adebayor has been on loan to Real Madrid since January but has failed to secure a permanent deal at the Bernabeu and has identified Tottenham as his most desired club to join, the Togo striker said "I would go there and sign for them and listen to what they have to say to me.

    "I will definitely come back to the Premier League, I do not know when but I miss it.

    "I felt sad because before joining Real Madrid my first choice was Tottenham," he said. "I was supposed to sign for Tottenham before Madrid came in.

    "I heard this song [that the Spurs fans sang about him] and I did not take it seriously because I know part of me is from London and Tottenham is part of London.

    "They were angry with me because I was taking their team out of the Champions League and I can understand that.

    "I did not take it badly but it is bad because people have to realise that we are footballers. Today we play for one team, tomorrow we may end up playing for another.

    "What if I am wearing a Tottenham shirt tomorrow?"

    City didn’t want to sell the lanky striker to a Champions League rival in January but Adebayor looks set to leave in the summer and would cost in the region of £15million.
