Emmanuel Adebayor hopes West Ham will revive their interest in signing him after he turned down a move to Aston Villa, sources have told ESPN FC.

Tottenham striker Adebayor had appeared set to be reunited with his former White Hart Lane boss Tim Sherwood after holding talks and undergoing a medical at Villa Park.

However, the deal broke down because of the Togo international's reluctance to move away from London.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has informed Adebayor that he is not part of his plans at White Hart Lane and hopes to offload him before the end of the transfer window.
