Emmanuel Adebayor would 'sit in the gym with a coffee and a muffin while he was getting paid by Tottenham, Manchester City and Crystal Palace,' says ex-defender Brede Hangeland

Emmanuel Adebayor still believes he has a lot to offer the Premier League, but any potential suitors may wish to err on the side of caution after hearing a comical anecdote from Brede Hangeland.

Adebayor remains a free agent after playing as captain for his country Togo at the Africa Cup of Nations, and the former Arsenal striker wants another shot at the English top flight after claiming he is blessed with 'golden genes'.

The 32-year-old forward may not be thankful to former Crystal Palace team-mate Hangeland, however, following his rather humorous recollection of their time together both on the pitch and in training.
