Adebayor And Given Staying At City

Emmanuel Adebayor

Sky Sports News are reporting that Emmanuel Adebayor and Shay Given will not be leaving Manchester City during the current transfer window. The pair had been linked with moves away from Eastlands and it had been reported that they were close to switches to rival Premier League clubs.

Speculation had suggested that former Arsenal striker Adebayor was a shock loan target of Tottenham after growing frustrated at his lack of opportunities under City boss Roberto Mancini this season. The arrival of Mario Balotelli is thought to have added to the Togolese’s rumoured unrest among City’s billionaires, who he joined from the Gunners in the July of 2009.

But Sky sources are reporting that Adebayor will not leave City after talks with Mancini and the striker will now stay to help the club in their ambitions to finish in the top four of the Premier League.
