Redknapp hopeful of landing former Gunner Adebayor on loan

HARRY REDKNAPP is hoping Emmanuel Adebayor will become the latest ex-Arsenal player to move to bitter rivals Tottenham after confirming yesterday that negotiations over a loan move for the striker are under way.

Adebayor fell out with City boss Roberto Mancini last season and the Italian has made it clear the £25 million striker has no future at the club.

Spurs and City have been in negotiations for some time over a deal, with Adebayor’s reported £170,000-a-week wage packet proving to be the only real stumbling block.
