Aston Villa desperate to seal Adebayor loan

Aston Villa are eager to beat their rivals to the signing of Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Togolese striker is expected to make way from White Hart Lane this summer, as manager Mauricio Pochettino seeks to bring in fresh faces to his attack front.

It had been speculated that Spurs would let go of the former Arsenal man on a temporary basis, as they look to cut down on their wage bill.

Multiple reports now cite that the Villains are keen on signing up the talented striker, so long as the player lowers his wage demands for the loan move.
