With Man City covering much of his current wage, Tottenham, a club who take financial accounting seriously, are unlikely to match the salary he receives at Eastlands long term.
“We all play football to get money,” Adebayor said. “I’m from Africa and I have to give something back to my community. You all know that I’ve been doing a lot of charity stuff without knocking at any door. I’m taking my own wages to do it and I will keep doing it until the end of my career. I will leave it [the talks about next season] to Harry Redknapp, the Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and Khaldoon [al-Mubarak], the chairman of Manchester City, to find a solution between themselves.”
