Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor says move to Crystal Palace was the 'worst decision' of his career

Striker Emmanuel Adebayor has said his move to Premier League side Crystal Palace in 2016 was the 'worst decision' of his career.

The 33-year-old former Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur forward joined Palace on a six-moth loan spell in January last year.

But he was released at the end of that season after scoring just once in 15 appearances, and Adebayor admits the move could not have gone any worse.

'I had some great experiences in England in clubs who are among the best in the country,' said Adebayor, who currently plays for Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir.
