It’s probably fair to say that Emmanuel Adebayor won’t be winning any popularity contests anytime soon and now he’s fallen out with his current club, Spurs.

The striker isn’t needed anymore and the fellow north London team want him out of the club and soon. They’ve even offered to pay his wages until he finds another club. However, the 31-year-old isn’t having any of it and instead wants the £5m in wages Spurs would have paid him had he seen out the remainder of his contract there.

Adebayor only took part in 17 matches for Spurs last season and scored twice during these. The lack of appearances is more telling than the lack of goals. Not even wanting him in the side suggests tension behind the scenes, rather than lack of form on the pitch.

Of course, Adebayor’s behaviour won’t come as a shock to many Arsenal fans, who are already well aware of what sort of a player the striker is.
