Report: West Ham United eye Emmanuel Adebayor this summer

West Ham United are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor this summer, according to reports.

The 31-year-old has played just 16 times for Spurs so far this season, and is thought to be surplus to requirements.

West Ham tried to sign the Togo forward in January, but they were thwarted by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.

The Telegraph says that the Hammers still want to sign Adebayor, and they hope that Levy's tough stance will have softened due to the player's £100,000-a-week wages.

Adebayor has scored twice this season.
