Adebayor due back on Monday - Boss

Sat 19 Jul, 06:30 PM


Gunners boss Arsene Wenger expects striker Emmanuel Adebayor to turn up for Arsenal pre-season training on Monday morning.Togo striker Adebayor, who finished top scorer for the Gunners last season with 30 goals, has made it clear through comments in the media that he wants an improved deal.

But Wenger clearly has no intention of letting Arsenal be held to ransom over excessive wage demands from any of his players.

After watching Arsenal's 2-1 pre-season friendly win over Barnet on Saturday, Wenger told Sky Sports News: "Adebayor is under contract and we expect him to turn up on Monday and practice with us."

Arsenal head off for their pre-season training camp in Austria at the end of this month and will return for the Emirates Cup - hosting Juventus and Real Madrid, as well Hamburg under former Tottenham manager Martin Jol.

The Gunners will complete their preparations for the new season with an appearance at the Amsterdam Tournament ahead of the Champions League qualifier on August 12/13.

  3. There is a credit crisis going on across the globe, at the moment. So all Wenger is doing is not being stupid with Arsenal's cash. If he wants £30,000 per week then start being more consitant, and dazzel us like Henry did!

  4. I am a Wenger fan and respect his attitude but I cannot reconcile the fact that he values Adebayor at £35 million but only worth £30,000 per week. Good money, yes but terrible in relation to the salaries of other players far less valuable.
    Come on Arsene,pay him what he's worth.

  5. This means that at the moment Adebayor must be happy at Arsenal and he maybe doesn't want 2 move 2 Milan or Barca anymore.
