Redknapp keen to keep Adebayor

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp admitted he would love to sign Emmanuel Adebayor on a permanent basis after the on-loan striker inspired Spurs to a 2-1 win at Wigan.

Adebayor was instrumental in his side’s blistering start to the Barclays Premier League game, setting up Rafael van der Vaart’s third-minute opener before Gareth Bale headed the second after 23 minutes.
