Emmanuel Adebayor has asked Tottenham to give him a £1million pay off to leave the club after being banished to the reserves, according to a report in Metro newspaper today.
Adebayor is interested in leaving the club and joining Queens Park Rangers or a club in the Middle East as a free agent. But Tottenham would need to cancel his contract. Plus Adebayor wants a £1million payout.
What a waste.
