Milan Linked With Adebayor

Thu 05 Jun, 12:09 PM


Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor is reportedly AC Milan's top summer transfer target.

Milan are expected to overhaul their squad following a disappointing Serie A campaign, which saw them fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Rumour has been rife that boss Carlo Ancelotti - who has turned down the advances of managerless Chelsea - has targeted Stamford Bridge star Didier Drogba and Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o.

However speculation in the Italian press now suggests that Anceotti has set his sights on Adebayor - who scored 24 Premier League goals last term - and that the Togo international has already agreed terms with Milan.

Arsenal, though, are believed to value Adebayor at £32million and it is unlikely manager Arsene Wenger will allow one of his top assets to leave without a fight.

  1. a good buy for Milan, or the squad will get older and older, and they lack forwards
    Inzaghi's getting old, Pato too young, Gilardino + Oliveira left, Ronaldo off form.
    They're in a desperate need of Adebayor, also, he can link up effectively Flamini

  2. Well what can i say? Players of Adebayo's calibre can only exist with free flowing teams such as Arsenal!!! Thank goodness he even maanaged to score 24 goals he was such pain is the throt cause arsene didn't hav another striker to replace that liability Ade. Sorry to Eduado 4 the injury cause we were getting on track 4 the title had it not been 4 his injury. If we can weigh the fighting spirit in the goals that Eduado score of those of Ade by far can i ever try to compare the 2. Ade was simply a chancer and a worster of beautiful chances. Adios Ade leave Arsenal and try fighting 4 a 4 fourth position at Milan.
    A plea to Wenger please bring Nasri Yaya and Guiza or David Villa. Hleb please stop waisting our time can u leave soo that we can sign a better palyer we are tired of traitors!!!!
    Go go go GUNNERS we are gunning again!!!!!!!!!

  3. lets the adebayor go..i dont think that he is a world class striker...he just like a lazy striker that i know..eduardo is better than he...anyway..no a big names wants to join arsenal if their club still want to invest in young player...

  4. Arsene Wenger should hold on to Adebayor and Hleb. I also think thak quality additions should be made to our club during the summer. Players like Benzema should be sought after. I also think that the then under 17 wonderkid from Nigeria- Chrisantus should be given a try. He is one for the future, he plays just like Henry. The defence should be fortified with strong tall defenders. Bellushi from Nigeria

  5. oh,cmon! certainly ade isnt 1 of the best strikers.seriously.look at him,he wasted a LOT of chances.i know wat u r trying to say,24 goals. from THOUSANDS of chances.if arsenal buy top class strikers,no doubt they'll score 40-50 goals.try watch arsenal matches eg vs man utd(old trafford) n vs vs liv(eufa 2nd leg) n see how ade played.horrible.too obvious

  6. Gainsy .. u ought to check ur knowledge about football

    "oh patrick did win la liga but lost it when they were relegated for corruption lol"

    Juventus in La Liga??

    get a life u idiot .. u know nothing about football except the most boring chant .. "Glory, Glory ,.., whatever"

  7. most of u idiots dont know what ur talkin about ade is one of the best strikers in the premership 24 prem goals first season thats great only torres scored the same and ronaldo had the best season of his life (which hell never repeat) 32m might be a good return but arsene doesnt buy 4 a season he buys for quality and ades got plenty of talent, with the players arsene is after hell score more next season, nasri is a class act, yaya will bolster the midfield, if he can prise vincent kompany away and 2 more midfielders premiership will be ours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    TRUE ARSENAL FAN NOT A FOLLOWER LIKE U TWITS WHO WROTE SUCH SILLY ARTICLES

    From CMS GOONER, on Fri 6 Jun 8:38AM
  8. i think ade should b sold and buy david villa to play along side with eduardo then with along as arsene buys a couple of more midfielders(nasri,ben arfa)and a good stong centre back arsenal will destroy the premiership and champions league

    From p.stickland61@..., on Fri 6 Jun 8:13AM
  9. just let him go where ever ade want go,as long the money it worth for the club.adebayor is nothing for me,he not deserve to be arsenal striker..he not talented to be a legend in arsenal ...

    From Eddy A, on Fri 6 Jun 7:44AM
  10. if they are willing to fork out the 32 million,i would nt dis agree.they could buy the players on their shortlist by using the money.

    From muhd.ridhwaan, on Fri 6 Jun 4:01AM
  11. well, if milan is willing to give 32m for him, i'm not complaining. maybe we might make a bid for david villa then - who even with Valencia struggling remains a class striker.

    From Tris X P, on Fri 6 Jun 2:23AM
  12. I'm an Arsenal fan!!And I agree Arsenal is a big club but Ade isn't a world class striker!!!!and that's what Arsenal lack the most to win something!Wenger should do something about it!!looking at how many occasions he misses...why can't wenger sell Ade and get somebody like Benzema or try someone else??!!If Ade can't shine at his current age when is he gonna become a world class player??when he gets 28, 30 ???!I wonder if it was Torres playing beside Cesc and Hleb...how many goals would he have scored???Ade should be sold....!

    From Wellars S, on Fri 6 Jun 1:45AM
  13. Adebayor is a grade B striker, he's just being lucky this time around.Arsene go for Cameroonians, they have abilities to re-enforce ur team, Jean Markoun of Lille (for Flamini) and Eto'o could better replace Adebayor.
    Arsenal needs a world class goal keeper, too. Almunia is just a try by error fellow.One thing is certain this time around, if Arsenal fails to spend close to 55 million pounds in the transfer window,they should count themselves out of the top 4 comes next season!
    witch man don talk!

    From marcel, on Fri 6 Jun 12:22AM
  14. With 32M Arsen should able to get much better player than Ade eg Martin, Tilbery. Yeh!!

    From lee h, on Thu 5 Jun 10:57PM
  15. ha ha ha ha ha
    who wrote this garbage article?
    i bet it was alex ferguson, he is probably quivering in his boots that his top star is off to madrid & realizes that his team wont make the top 3 next year without him!!!
    if it is true, 34m for someone who cost us about 5m would be a better return than the anelka deal
    everyone who leaves arsenal & wenger does so well for themselves, to name a few henry,vierra,overmars,petit,edu i could go on lol
    how many trophies have they all won?
    none
    oh patrick did win la liga but lost it when they were relegated for corruption lol
    arsene makes arsenal & our players what they are, the sooner these players realize that the better
    good luck to all gooners next season
    keep up the garbage play yido's next season, your defence always gives us a good laugh

    From Gainsy, on Thu 5 Jun 10:21PM
  16. milan shuld get lost cuz ADE aint goin nowhere man......c'mon arsenal

    From thomasleonta@..., on Thu 5 Jun 8:59PM
  17. too many chiefs you see, not enough indians, get it? where's the carpet boy now then mr. footie face wenger...exactly

  18. oh gosh, he's SO gay, wash your hands of him, he sucks

    From mattbruno25, on Thu 5 Jun 7:53PM
  19. i watch most of arsenal games. adebayor is far from a world class striker. he squandered alot of chances that could have put arsenal in a better position. arsernal go for eto'o or benzema and let that lad go.stone cameroon

    From Nkwa, on Thu 5 Jun 7:22PM
  20. a mass exodus seems imminent at arsenal..... What will tomorrow bring? Lets see how the gaffer and board deal with this debacle. Ireckon the storm will settle after the EUROS. While no player is indispensable,Wenger should hold on to Adebayor, who is the only prolific striker in our team and buy a well established fox in the box. ala pippo inzaghi. Please sign YAYA Toure to add some grit,guts and guile to our midfield.
