Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor risks the wrath of Arsene Wenger after revealing regular contact with AC Milan
Let's talk about it: Adebayor has risked the wrath of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger after speaking candidly about his conversations with prominent AC Milan officials
Emmanuel Adebayor has risked the wrath of Arsene Wenger by revealing he has regular contact with AC Milan. The Togo international striker tried to engineer a move to the Italian giants last summer before agreeing a new £80,000-a-week deal to stay at The Emirates, but has never been forgiven by a section of Arsenal fans for his perceived lack of commitment.
And Arsenal supporters will be dismayed to learn the 25-year-old has once again questioned his future in London. 'I often speak to Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani on the phone because he is very good at French as his wife is from Morocco,' Adebayor told Italian newspaper Tuttosport.
Sexy football: Adebayor admits Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is not as stunning as pop diva Beyonce Knowles (L), but believes AC's brand of football is
'Galliani may not be as sexy as Beyonce, but Milan are.' Adebayor pointed to Arsenal's lack of success in the Champions League as a reason behind his desire to join the Italian giants. Arsenal have never won Europe's biggest prize and have reached just one final despite participating in the competition for eleven consectuve seasons.
'Milan have won the Champions League on seven occasions whereas Arsenal have never won it,' said Adebayor. 'Last year I was very close to signing for the Rossoneri, but then I renewed my Arsenal contract until 2012.
Off in a hurry: Adebayor is contracted at the Emirates until 2012 but would not rule out a move to Italy
'For now I just want to finish the season on a high, but then we will see. My agent Stephane Courbis is in London with his Italian associate Vincenzo Morabito and they are always working day and night.'
Courbis did not rule out a summer move for Adebayor and said: 'There have not been any offers, not from Milan or any other Italian sides. Nothing has taken place so far, but anything can happen.
'The player's priority is with Arsenal, and then we will have to speak with Arsene Wenger next month. 'I can see lots of movements happening this summer. [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic could leave Inter, [Didier] Drogba can go from Chelsea, my client could also change club, but all this is hypothesis, it's too early to talk.'
Wenger will be furious with his £7million striker for speaking so candidly ahead of Arsenal's biggest game of the season against Manchester United in the Champions League semi-final second leg tonight
