# West Ham back in for for striker as club drops their demands

West Ham have resumed their pursuit of out-of-favour Spurs striker Emmanuel Adebayor, writes Darren Lewis of [the Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/west-hams-loan-move-emmanuel-6309248). Talks initially broke down in the January transfer window with David Gold’s now infamous “don’t go to bed tweet”, as West Ham were unwilling to meet the Togolese forward’s £100,000 per week wage bill.

With Adebayor reportedly unsettled at White Hart Lane, it is now believed that Daniel Levy is considering subsidising the 31- year old’s wages in order to facilitate a move to West Ham. The East Londoner’s are looking to complete a year-long loan for the striker, following injuries to Enner Valencia, Mauro Zarate, and Andy Carroll.

Adebayor enjoyed a prominent role in Tim Sherwood’s successful 2013/14 campaign, netting 11 goals and 5 assists in 21 league appearances. However, the Togo international played fewer than 1000 minutes for Tottenham Hotspur last season following a series of tumultuous family grievances. It is now hoped that a season at West Ham will provide a much-needed fresh start for the former Manchester City and Arsenal striker.
