Tottenham boss sings Adebayor praises

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp admitted to reporters that signing Adebayor would be a great coup for Spurs; but also hinted the Togo international's salary may be a stumbling block.

Redknapp knows that Adebayor's history with Arsenal would make the forward an instant White Hart Lane favorite.

Redknapp quipped: "Arsenal fans hate him so ours will love him. He'll be a hero because he upset Arsenal."

Regarding a potential transfer, Redknapp continued: "He was almost unplayable when he was with Arsenal and that's why City paid £25m for him.

"If he comes to Tottenham with his head on and really wants to play, he could be sensational."
