The big transfer news of the day, as reported by the English newspaper Sunday People, suggests that Emmanuel Adebayor is Monaco’s priority for the upcoming season. The Togolese striker, who has increasingly hinted at leaving Tottenham this summer, might make a return to Monaco. It is mentioned that Spurs would not be opposed to Adebayor’s departure, as manager Andre Villas-Boas was reportedly dissatisfied with his performance this season, unlike his loan spell the previous year when he scored 17 goals in 33 games.
Potential replacements for Adebayor, such as Brazilian Damiao and Frenchman Loïc Rémy, are frequently mentioned in transfer discussions. While Adebayor’s departure might not be an issue for Tottenham, his hefty salary of £100,000 per week could be a stumbling block for potential suitors. However, Monaco, being considered nouveau riche in France, believes it can afford his wages.
Adebayor’s performance this season has been less impressive, with only three goals in 21 games. He also faced criticism from supporters, particularly after missing a penalty in the Europa League quarter-finals against FC Basel. Despite this, Monaco seems keen on securing his services, and Adebayor is familiar with the Principality, having played there between 2003 and 2006
