Adebayor on his way out

Adebayor, 29, has had a tough time at White Hart Lane since joining from Manchester City last summer and could be tempted to leave England. The Togo international managed just five goals in 25 Premier League games last year as Spurs finished fifth, with manager Andre Villas-Boas keen on bringing in Barcelona’s David Villa as his replacement, reports The Express.

Spurs are thought to be closing in on a deal for the 31-year-old, who has attracted interest from their North London rivals Arsenal.
Villa has 92 caps for Spain, scoring 56 times, and is back from playing in the Confederations Cup.

Meanwhile, the jacket of the ball boy “kicked” by Eden Hazard last season during Chelsea’s League Cup semi-final clash with Swansea is being sold on ebay for charity.
Charlie Morgan, who sat on the ball and when Hazard tried to kick it free rolled around as if shot by a rifle, has signed his jacket and the money will go towards Maggie’s Cancer Charity and the RNLI.

‘This is the actual jacket worn by Swansea city ball boy Charlie Morgan when he was involved in the world famous incident with Chelsea player Eden Hazard on the 23rd January 2013.

‘It was during the second leg of the Capital One semi final that Hazard was sent off by referee Chris Foy after an allegation that he kicked the ball-boy whilst he was in the process of retrieving the ball.

“The matter made worldwide news and resulted in Charlie Morgan receiving nearly 80 000 followers on twitter and the clip had more than 2 million you tube views.
“The jacket has been donated by Charlie with all the profits from the sale going to Maggies Cancer charity and the RNLI. The pictures show me receiving the coat and also Charlie wearing and signing it.

“A certificate of authenticity will be provided by Swansea City football club. The jacket will be sent first class recorded signed for delivery. I am happy to answer any questions.” — Mailonline.
