Tottenham's Emmanuel Adebayor has had a change of heart and will now join Togo in their race for the Nations Cup
Togolese Football Federation president Gabriel Ameyi
confirmed that Adebayor would take part in the African Cup of Nation, speaking to
Algerian radio station Smail Berhaiel on Monday:
"Of course we are going
to the Nations Cup with Adebayor, he will be with us in South Africa." Ameyi
added: "It's very important to have him with us, he's our best player and
the captain of our team. Drogba and all the stars will be there and Adebayor
too." Ameyi
Emmanuel Adebayor who was planning to skip the January
19-February 10 competition in South Africa in a dispute over unpaid player
bonuses and team security has had a
last minute change of heart to go back on his decision to boycott the
tournament after several meetings over the last two days, a government
spokesman said on Tuesday.
The Spurs striker is at the center of yet another row over bonus payments to the squad following their qualification to the finals.
The Togolese side has been in constant turmoil over money with Adebayor using his status in the small West African country to force the issue.
On Tuesday, Togo press reports said coach Didier Six was
also seeking to be paid outstanding wages and had not joined up with the
team, who are preparing for the tournament in neighboring Ghana.
