Adebayor Commits To Arsenal
-
Emmanuel Adebayor has assured Arsène Wenger that he is ready to commit himself to Arsenal and ignore the rumours that Barcelona are keen on signing him during the summer.
The Togo international has been linked with a move to Camp Nou with the Blaugrana viewing Adebayor as bacl-up should they fail to prise Karim Benzema from Lyon or Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Inter.
Reports in Spain had suggest that Barça made an informal enquiry during talks about Aleksandr Hleb, who is set to move from the Emirates to join Thierry Henry at the Catalan giants.
Adebayor is not keen on being third choice, however, and has stated that he is only thinking about guiding the Gunners back to the top.
“I came to Arsenal with a mission to succeed," he explained. "I’ve assured the gaffer Arsène Wenger I’ll stay because I believe in the team and I want to assure the fans my concentration is here.
“I have no reason to leave so I’ll stay to ensure that together we’ll win silverware."
There had been fears that Mathieu Flamini's exit from the could unsettle players who have often demanded that the squad be strengthened, but Adbayor does not believe the Frenchman will be that badly missed.
“Mathieu’s a good player but his departure doesn’t mean Arsenal is about to collapse. Our team is a deep well of talent," he added.
“I am confident we are capable of winning titles and we will return for next season hungrier to be successful.” -
