Report: Emmanuel Adebayor to turn down Aston Villa, switch to West Ham United

Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor has expressed an interest in moving to West Ham United, according to reports.

The Spurs frontman, exiled at White Hart Lane, was rumoured to be on the verge of a switch to Aston Villa, where he would be reunited with ex-boss Tim Sherwood.

According to The Mirror, however, the Togo international has been stalling over a Villa Park transfer because his heart is still set on a move to Upton Park.

Adebayor was close to becoming a West Ham player in the winter transfer window until Spurs chairman Daniel Levy reportedly pulled the plug on the move.
