Tottenham has confirmed they have released striker Emmanuel Adebayor from his contract at the club by mutual consent. The 31 year-old almost joined Aston Villa in the summer transfer window and that move could now be revived. A statement on Spurs' official website on Sunday morning said: "We can confirm that we have reached a mutual agreement with Emmanuel Adebayor which will see him released from his contract with the club.
"We wish Emmanuel well for the future." Adebayor was told he had no future at Spurs by manager Mauricio Pochettino and was not included in the Argentine's 25-man Premier League squad. He had also not been allocated a squad number at White Hart Lane and had refused to go on international duty with Togo.
Despite being told he would be allowed to find a new club and holding an hour-long chat with West Ham boss Slaven Bilic, it is understood Adebayor had refused to leave White Hart Lane unless Spurs paid up the remainder of his contract - believed to be worth as much as £5m. Pochettino also revealed on Friday that Adebayor had been training with the under-21 squad after a self-imposed exile from the senior set-up. The former Arsenal striker’s contract at Tottenham was due to run until next summer.
