Stunning swap deal could be on the cards

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a sensational swap deal involving striker Emmanuel Adebayor and Aston Villa forward Christian Benteke.

Benteke really caught fire in the second half of last season under Villa boss Tim Sherwood, helping the Midlands side to the FA Cup Final, where they lost  to Arsenal.

Adebayor and Sherwood Relatinship

Adebayor himself flourished at Tottenham under their former boss Sherwood, who got the best out of the former Arsenal and Manchester City man during his time in the White Hart Lane hotseat.

According to the Daily Mirror, Adebayor is keen to quit North London and reunite with Sherwood at Villa Park, having been made an outcast by Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Interest in Benteke

Belgian Benteke is also being linked with Chelsea and Liverpool. One problem, however, may well be Benteke’s buy-out clause in his contract, ÂŁ32.5m.

Another potential issue may be Adebayor’s wage demands of ÂŁ100,000 per week.

This would make him easily Villa’s highest earner if any deal goes through. Spurs hope that using Adebayor may reduce any transfer fee Villa may ask.
