Watford turn down Adebayor training role

Watford have denied free agent Emmanuel Adebayor from training with their first-team.

The Togolese footballer is on the search for a new club following his release from Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month.

It had been recently reported that the 31-year-old was keen to improve his fitness levels in order to seek his next move.

However, the Hornets have rejected the chance as manager Quique Flores likes working with a tight-knit squad, and does not want interruption from players outside his first-team.

Adebayor will be allowed to join a new club only in January, as he was still a Spurs player when the transfer window elapsed on September 1.
