Spurs seal £6m Adebayor deal as striker makes permanent move from Manchester City.

Tottenham have finally agreed a deal with Manchester City over the permanent transfer of Emmanuel Adebayor.

Striker Adebayor, who spent last season on loan at White Hart Lane, returns to London in a £6million move.

The former Arsenal man is set to become Spurs' highest-paid player, although he will be taking a cut on the £160,000 a week he was on at City.

Adebayor had three and a half years with the Gunners before joining City for £25m in 2009.

But he fell down the pecking order when Mark Hughes was sacked and Roberto Mancini took over as boss.

The Togolese forward was sent on loan to Real Madrid on loan in January 2011 before joining Spurs last summer.

As a former Gunner, he won over the fans with 18 goals in all competitions.

Adebayor joins new recruits Jan Vertonghen and Gylfi Sigurdsson as Andre Villas-Boas shapes his squad for the start of the Premier League campaign.
