West Ham striker target set to snub the club for Champions League football

West Ham striker target set to snub the club for Champions League football

West Ham United striker target Emmanuel Adebayor could be set to snub the club in favour of a move to Lazio, according to Italian media outlet Tutto Mercato Web.

The 31-year-old has been linked with a move to Upton Park for the majority of the month, but it would appear that the forward has various options to consider including Premier League side Aston Villa. Adebayor has a good relationship with his former manager Tim Sherwood, so Villa Park could be a real possibility.

Lazio would perhaps be a more viable proposition for the Togolese international, as they can offer Adebayor Champions League football this season. However, it would be difficult to foresee the Serie A side being able to afford his rather large wages.

In addition to 29 goals in 63 international appearances for Togo’s national team, Adebayor has a plethora of footballing experience, having played for Real Madrid, Arsenal and Monaco throughout his career. In 2007/08, he also made the PFA Team of the Year, showing the ability he possesses.
