Arsenal must show mettle, says Adebayor

ARSENAL striker Emmanuel Adebayor believes trophies are the only way to prove the club is as big as the likes of Manchester United – and that is why he stayed at the Emirates Stadium.

Adebayor looked set to leave the Gunners last summer but signed a new contract with the hope of more huge games like the Champions League quarter-final against Villarreal tonight.

After falling at this stage last season, Adebayor is desperate to hold onto the slender away-goals advantage they have over the Spaniards.
