Emmanuel Adebayor, who found himself relegated to the reserves at Tottenham, caught the attention of QPR’s coach, Harry Redknapp. However, Redknapp expressed doubts about the feasibility of the transfer.
Despite the potential interest from Adebayor, Tottenham’s squad already included Roberto Soldado and other notable recruits under coach André Villas-Boas. This competition for places limited Adebayor’s playing time.
Harry Redknapp acknowledged the need for multiple strikers in a team and expressed his desire to have Adebayor at QPR. However, he was skeptical about the Togolese striker dropping down to the Championship (English D2). Redknapp stated, “I would love to have Manny (Emmanuel Adebayor) here, but I can’t imagine him going down to the Championship. But we never know. If he wanted, we would welcome him with open arms, but it will be difficult.”
It was also mentioned that Emmanuel Adebayor had requested a transfer fee of one million pounds to facilitate his departure from Tottenham. This transfer saga reflected the challenges and negotiations involved in securing the services of a player with Adebayor’s caliber and financial expectations.
