Adebayor flies to Manchester to complete medical
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has arrived in Manchester to tie up the loose ends of his proposed move to Manchester City and complete his medical.
Emmanuel Adebayor: Deal almost done.
The 25-year-old striker will cost the club around £25m where he will join Carlos Tevez and Roque Santa Cruz in a new look City frontline.
The Togo international had stalled over a move to Eastlands, with reports claiming that he was unhappy with the reaction to the transfer in his homeland.
Reports in the Daily Mirror also claimed that he was waiting on a £2m pay-off from the Gunners as he did not hand in a transfer request, but it now seems as if he is set to seal his £150,000 a week deal.
Adebayor is expected to join Mark Hughes' side in the next few days as City look to continue to add to their squad with the, so far unsuccessful, captures of John Terry and Joleon Lescott.
The striker was omitted from Arsenal's squad for Saturday's pre-season friendly against Barnet although Tomas Rosicky was included in the starting line-up for his first appearance since January 2008 following his recovery from serious hamstring and knee injuries.
The Czech winger was joined by Thomas Vermaelen, who made his Gunners debut after agreeing a £10m move from Ajax.
