Adebayor on the brink

EMMANUEL ADEBAYOR’S Tottenham future is in the balance.

The striker, 28, increasingly believes he has no future under manager Andre Villas-Boas.

Adebayor has not started a Premier game this season — and has managed just 82 minutes on the pitch.

He was on the bench again yesterday for the clash with Chelsea despite Gareth Bale missing the game as his partner went into labour.

The former Gunner was signed for £5million just two months ago.

That followed a loan spell from Manchester City last season when he scored 17 goals in 32 Premier League games.

A Spurs source said: “Manu wants to play and he really hoped to be in with a chance of starting against Chelsea.

“Mentally he saw that game as a make or break for him at Spurs.

“It’s obvious now that AVB doesn’t fancy him and Manu thinks it’s better he left.”
