But, when at his very best , Emmanuel Adebayor is an excellent scorer with his feet as well. Imagine: Emmanuel Adebayor is Peter Crouch with the ability to dribble and score with his feet. He is everything Roman Pavyluchenko should've been for Tottenham. Obviously, the signing of Adebayor must be approached with cautious optimism.

Tottenham were keen to sign a new striker having recently sold Robbie Keane to LA Galaxy , and with the lack of goals at White Hart Lane last season as their strikers - Roman Pavlyuchenko, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe and Keane - scored only 18 league goals between them. The only other interest within the Premier League emanated from Fulham and Adebayor will be grateful for the way Hamburg decided that it was "unthinkable" in the word of the club president Bernd Hoffmann, to allow the year-old Van Nistelrooy to leave.
