LONDON: Crystal Palace striker Emmanuel Adebayor has fired a broadside at Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy ahead of a first return to White Hart Lane on Sunday (today) since his acrimonious exit.
Adebayor made nearly 100 Premier League appearances in four-and-a-half years at Tottenham, but his relationship with Levy deteriorated after twice being denied a move to West Ham United.
Adebayor and Spurs agreed to cancel his contract last September, preventing him from joining a new club until January, and the forward defended himself against a perception that he was still happy to get paid while not playing.
“Daniel Levy made everything complicated,” the former Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid striker told British media.
