Striker agrees deal to make White Hart Lane switch

understands Tottenham are close to finally agreeing a deal to sign Emmanuel Adebayor from Manchester City. Spurs have been chasing Adebayor all summer after he impressed at White Hart Lane during a loan spell last season. Adebayor impressed with 17 Premier League goals last term and City have been willing to offload the Togo international. A deal between both clubs was agreed last month, but the move is thought to have stalled over personal terms. However, it is understood a compromise has now been reached to pave the way for Adebayor to make the switch to north London. Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has admitted he is looking to add another striker to his squad and it appears Adebayor will now fill that void.
