Harry Redknapp shows interest in Emmanuel Adebayor signing

Target: Adebayor celebrates after scoring against Spurs in last season's Champions League clash
11 April 2012

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has revealed an interest in signing Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

The 27-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan with Real Madrid after falling out of favour with City boss Roberto Mancini.

Adebayor is expected to be a peripheral figure if he remains at the Etihad Stadium and looks set for a move away this summer. Redknapp is keen to bring in new blood and has admitted the Togo forward is on his radar.

"He is a name that was mentioned and I spoke to the chairman about the player, about the possibility of loaning him, but whether they [City] would loan him I don't know," Redknapp told reporters in South Africa.

"If they would loan him he would be of interest. He is a quality player. We will wait and see."
