Official: Tottenham release Adebayor from contract

Tottenham have announced striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been released by the club after an agreement was reached with the player.

The Togo international was linked with summer moves to Aston Villa and West Ham, and is now free to join a new club with his deal at White Hart Lane cut short.

The former Arsenal forward joined Spurs in 2012, but struggled to establish himself back in north London and leaves the club having scored 24 goals in 76 appearances.

Having excelled under Tim Sherwood, Adebayor failed to establish himself under Mauricio Pochettino, and has been on the pitch for just six minutes since March 15.

The 31-year-old's departure leaves Spurs with just Harry Kane as a recognised striker, though new signings Heung-Min Son and Clinton N'Jie can both play in forward areas.
