Tottenham manager,Andre Villas Boas has revealed that the club was willing to allow Emmanuel Adebayor leave,but he was not interested in the options that came his way.
Adebayor has fallen down the pecking order at the club,and has been confined to train with the club’s reserves when he returns from a compassionate leave,following the death of his brother.
The Togo international is yet to feature for Tottenham this season,especially with the arrival of Roberto Soldado who has been the club’s lone striker this season.
“There were opportunities for him(Adebayor) to leave,” Villas-Boas is quoted as saying on BBC Sport.
“But he was not interested in them. We presented the player and his agents the situations we were presented with.”
“At the moment Ade is not with us, because we have granted him authorisation to stay up until Monday in his country for personal reasons, so he’s not going to be involved against Norwich [on Saturday],” Villas-Boas added.
“Up to when I find it appropriate, he will train with the development team.”
“He was a couple of weeks late in relation to the rest of the team, bearing in mind his personal tragedy. So at the moment, things stand as they are,” Villas Boas added.
On Friday Queens Park Rangers manager,Harry Redknapp said that they would have loved to take Adebayor on loan,but doubted if it was the option he would want to take.

“He can’t go on loan in the Premier League, he can only go into the Championship but, whether he’d want to do that, it would be difficult I think,” Redknapp said.
