More money for Adebayor
Tottenham could be forced to continue paying Emmanuel Adebayor even if he signs for a new club this month.

The Togo striker is on the lookout for a new team with a switch to the Premier League his top priority.
Spurs are still paying the striker £100,000 per week despite the fact he left the club in September after falling out of favour in north London.
And the White Hart Lane outfit is facing the prospect of forking out for the 31-year-old even if he finds a new club.
Crystal Palace is leading the chase for the former Arsenal hitman, while Watford is also keeping tabs on the forward.
However, the likelihood either club would be willing to match Adebayor’s current pay-packet is remote.
That means Spurs could be lumbered with topping-up the African striker’s wages to the £100,000-per-week mark until June, when his agreement with the north London club expires.
Palace is in advanced talks with Adebayor over a switch to Selhurst Park and are hopeful of concluding a deal. Sportsmail understands the key to the deal is the length of contract. DailyMail
