Emmanuel Adebayor will never play for Tottenham Hotspur again
Nobody wants Emmanuel Adebayor.
In the same week as his Togo career was effectively ended after he didn't respond to a call-up to his national team, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed he has no future at White Hart Lane.

Moves to West Ham United and Aston Villa failed to materialise over the summer, and attempts by Tottenham Hotspur to terminate the striker's contract were foiled by Adebayor demanding a £5-million payoff.
"I think it's clear he's not in my idea, in my mind or in the plans for the future of Spurs," Pochettino told reporters.
The former Arsenal and Manchester City forward has not even been given a squad number this season, and seems happy to collect his £100-thousand weekly pay packet while doing very little.
Pochettino did have some good news for the Spurs faithful, though, confirming that £22-million signing Son Heung-min will make his debut in Sunday's trip to Sunderland.
"Son scored three goals in his game for the national team, arrived on Monday and trained very well all week," the Argentine said.
