Tottenham have launched a bid to take Emmanuel Adebayor on loan from Manchester City, although his colossal wages could prove a stumbling block.
The Eastlands outfit is desperate to offload the unhappy striker, and now that the chances of a transfer to Real Madrid appear to be fading Spurs have wasted no time in making their move.
But with City demanding £14million for the Togo international, Harry Redknapp has proposed a loan move with the option to buy.
That still wouldn’t solve the problem of Adebayor’s £175,000-a-week wages, though, which City are keen to shift to someone else.
However, Spurs would only be prepared to offer the striker in the region of £75,000-a-week.
A solution could be for the north Londoners to pay an initial loan fee, but the Blues would still prefer a straight sale and are likely to hold on until the last minute in order to attract a rival bidder.
Redknapp tried to sign the former Arsenal striker in January, and Adebayor admitted he was tempted by a move to White Hart Lane.
‘Before joining Real Madrid, my first choice was Tottenham,’ said the 27-year-old.
The striker was then racially abused by a section of Spurs fans during their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real in the Bernabeu.
