Football: ‘Adebayor won’t leave in January’
Villas-Boas said that Adebayor will have to be patient for his chance.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas insists that Emmanuel Adebayor will not be allowed to leave the club during the January transfer window.
The striker has seen very little action and is yet to start a match this season, as a result of which reports emerged linking him with a move away from White Hart Lane in January.
Villas-Boas said that Adebayor will have to be patient for his chance. “At the moment we are using one striker and Defoe has been doing extremely well,” Villas-Boas told Sky Sports News.
“I think Ade has done extremely well and is in contention for games where we play with two strikers. I don’t think the club will be willing to let anyone go.”
