Finally, Emmanuel Adebayor Completes A Loan Deal to Crystal Palace FC. Read Why
Adebayor, 31, signs as a free agent until the end of the season
Emmanuel Adebayor has returned to the Premier League after signing a contract with Crystal Palace initially until the end of next season, ending the Togolese forward’s five-month exile from the game.
The striker, who has scored 96 goals in 230 league games, has been without a club since September when his deal with Tottenham Hotspur was terminated by mutual consent. While the player became a free agent, Spurs have effectively been paying his £100,000-a-week wages as per their original contract with the 31-year-old, with that arrangement due to run through to the end of June.
Adebayor had attracted interest from clubs in China, Turkey and the Gulf, as well as Watford, and said the chance to live and play again in London was a big part of his decision to sign up with the Eagles.
Speaking to the club’s website, www.cpfc.co.uk, he said: “I chose Palace because my family are happy in London. Palace have been playing the football I like and they have a few players who are my friends.
