Emmanuel Adebayor keen for Tottenham to extend his loan move from Manchester City

Goal hungry: Emmanuel Adebayor has increased Spurs' attacking threat

Emmanuel Adebayor, the on-loan Manchester City striker, wants to play for Tottenham again next season despite the club's failure to qualify for the Champions League.

The Togo international was a big success last season at Tottenham, where he scored 18 times during a season-long loan from Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City.

Chelsea's victory over Bayern Munich means Tottenham cannot offer Adebayor Champions League football next term, but he still appears determined to stay at White Hart Lane.

Adebayor wrote on Twitter: "Loved my spell at Tottenham. We are working hard with the chairman to make it permanent. Will keep you informed!!"

Manager Harry Redknapp has stressed his wish for the striker to stay on a permanent basis, but has accepted finances may be a problem.

Adebayor’s reported wage packet of £175,000 a week is way above what Spurs pay their top earners and City have warned there are plenty of other clubs interested in signing the striker.

The news that Adebayor is willing to stay at Spurs despite their failure to qualify for the Champions League is a boost to the club.

Winger Gareth Bale hinted before Chelsea became European champions last weekend that he would consider leaving if Tottenham were not playing in the Champions League next season while Luka Modric has refused to commit himself to Spurs beyond the summer.

Chairman Daniel Levy, who fought off interest from Chelsea in Modric last summer, has vowed to keep the club's top players and Redknapp is determined to add to his playing squad.

The Spurs boss has been strongly linked with moves for Marseille striker Loic Remy and Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen.
