Emmanuel Adebayor has claimed that he wants to stay at Tottenham Hotspur next season.
The striker, who spent the last campaign on loan from Manchester City, scored 18 goals for Harry Redknapp's side.
However, the 28-year-old has made it clear that he will not "beg" to remain at White Hart Lane.
"I don't know yet whether I'll be here or not next year but my first choice now would be to stay at Tottenham," he told the London Evening Standard.
"I am not going to go on my knees and beg anyone; this is for others to sort out.
"If a deal can be done, then fine. I would love to play for Tottenham. If not, then trust me, I will keep Tottenham in my heart."
Adebayor signed for Manchester City from Arsenal in 2009 for around £25m.
