Spurs are trying to tie up a permanent deal for Emmanuel Adebayor

The deal collapsed a month ago over the striker’s £170,000-a-week wages. But Tottenham have offered Adebayor a package worth £6.5million a year.

They will pay the Togo star, who scored 10 goals for Spurs last season, £100,000 a week over three years plus a £4m signing-on fee.

Spurs are also interested in Brazilian Olympic striker Leandro Damiao, but City have also made enquiries.
