Liverpool Set To Beat Tottenham To Emmanuel Adebayor Deal

Tottenham look likely to end an impressive season on a miserable note by losing star striker Emmanuel Adebayor to Liverpool.

The Togo hitman has been on loan from Manchester City this season and has spearheaded a Spurs attack that has fired the club to within touching distance of a Champions League spot.

Spurs are keen to keep him at White Hart Lane on a permanent basis but, according to Caught Offside, may be about to pull out of a deal because of the player's excessive wage demands.

With Roberto Mancini blessed with an abundance of attacking talent at the Etihad Stadium, which will leave Adebayor looking for a new club.

Reds boss Kenny Dalglish is known to be a fan and is ready to splash out on another striker this summer, to add to existing big-money purchases Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez.

Adebayor has scored 11 times in 26 Premier League appearances for Spurs and offers a proven record of hitting the net – something the Anfield outfit have struggled to do during the current campaign.

Dalglish is also becoming increasingly concerned over Carroll and Suarez's inability to gel as a partnership and could turn to another player to bring a new dimension to the Liverpool attack.
