Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini warns Tottenham Hotspur that they are not the only team who are interested in signing Emmanuel Adebayor.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has warned Tottenham Hotspur that they are not the only team who are interested in signing Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Togolese forward moved to White Hart Lane on a season-long loan in August and has scored 14 goals in 31 appearances.

Liverpool have been linked with a shock move for the 28-year-old, while Harry Redknapp has admitted that he 'doesn't have a clue' whether or not Spurs will be able to sign Adebayor permanently.

Although Mancini concedes that the player's future is away from the Etihad Stadium, the Italian is not prepared to let him leave on the cheap.

"Adebayor is playing well and I am happy for him. He's a good guy and a good player and I am happy," said Mancini.

"If at the end of the season he wants to stay at Tottenham they will buy him, or another team will. There are a lot of teams that want Manu."

City paid Arsenal £25m for Adebayor in 2009.
