Top agent: "Emmanuel Adebayor won't join Spurs"

Emmanuel Adebayor will not sign for Tottenham Hotspur unless he climbs down on his high wage demands, according to a top football agent.

Football agent Phil Smith has admitted that he thinks Emmanuel Adebayor's move to Tottenham Hotspur is dead in the water.

Smith was involved in Adebayor's transfer from Arsenal to Manchester City in 2009, a deal which gave the Togolese striker a reported £170,000 per week, but he thinks that the 28-year-old has now priced himself out of a move away from City.

He told talkSPORT: "I was involved in Adebayor going to Manchester City from Arsenal and he is quite ruthless when it comes to getting what he wants.

"He got a very good deal and quite clearly he wants his pound of flesh not only on the way in but on the way out.

"And I think it's a deal that will die on its backside, so who is it that is going to come and give moneybags Adebayor the money that he wants other than moneybags QPR and I don't think they'd even be interested in him."

Queens Park Rangers and Spurs continue to be linked with securing a deal for Adebayor regardless of his wage demands.
