Crystal Palace will be releasing Emmanuel Adebayor at the end of his deal

Emmanuel Adebayor has announced that his time at Crystal Palace is coming to an end but hopes to finish his short career at Selhurst Park with an FA Cup winner's medal.

The Togo international joined the club on a free transfer in January but found his game time limited not long after signing his short-term deal.

And the 32-year-old confirmed his contract won't be extended but hopes that he can help Palace lift the FA Cup trophy at Wembley Stadium.

He told the South London Press: 'I’ve had six beautiful months with Palace. Pape Souare, Yohan Cabaye, Macca [James McArthur] and Jedi [Mile Jedinak] have all talked to me a lot.

'I’d love to have played more - but that’s football.

'The journey will stop in May - but that’s not the end of my journey. It is just a stop. It will continue, wherever I go to.

'I will always wish this club well. It doesn’t matter if I start the Manchester United game on the bench or the gaffer decides to put me in the stands - at the end of the day we want to win it. This club wants to win it.

'Every player - whether they start or not or are not even in the squad of 18 - want the club to win the FA Cup. It is as simple as that.'

Adebayor has played 15 times for Palace this year and scored just once. He made seven Premier League starts as well as five substitute appearances.

His single goal came in a 2-1 loss against Watford in the top flight in February. He has also made three FA Cup appearances, including two starts.
