Emmanuel Adebayor spent four years at Tottenham Hotspur.
Emmanuel Adebayor has told the Guardian that Tottenham Hotspur fans should remember him as the striker who scored a lot of goals for them.
Adebayor represented Spurs for four years between 2011 and 2015, and netted 42 goals in 113 goals for the North London side.
The Togolese forward admits that he doesn’t know how fondly he is remembered at White Hart Lane, but insists that he still has a good relationship with Mauricio Pochettino.
“I’m happy for Pochettino and how they are doing,” he said. “Things didn’t work out between us but he is a great manager and we still have a good relationship despite what people might think.
“We still keep in touch – he is a good guy and has changed Tottenham. I don’t know whether the fans there hate me or love me but they should remember one thing, which is that there was a time when I scored goals for them and made them happy.”
Adebayor is currently without a club, but he is still captaining Togo at the African Cup of Nations.
The 32-year-old has expressed a desire to return to the Premier League, but he is yet to receive an offer from an English club.
Adebayor left Spurs after falling out of favour, following the emergence of Harry Kane.
The former Arsenal man then moved to Crystal Palace, but he struggled to make an impact at Selhurst Park.
Adebayor’s Togo side drew their first African Cup of Nations 0-0 with Ivory Coast.
