Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor's transfer saga took another odd twist on transfer deadline day, as the Togo international reportedly turned down moves to a number of clubs on advice from his pastor and believes he needs “a sign from God” before he will leave Spurs.
According to the Daily Telegraph's Matt Law, the 31-year-old finally agreed to a contract termination offer that would see Spurs pay his wages in full until he found a new club and made up the deficit between his former and new wages, only to change his mind again:
Tottenham were desperate to offload Adebayor this summer and made the striker a deadline-day offer to cancel the remaining year of his £100,000-a-week contract, so that he could join a new club as a free agent.
