Adebayor Describes Surreal Madrid Move

Adebayor warms the bench again during his frustrating season at Man City

Emmanuel Adebayor today described as a dream come true his transfer to Real Madrid.

Adebayor joins Madrid on a loan deal until the end of the season from Manchester City, and Madrid have first choice on buying the 26-year-old after that.

The move, seen as cover for Gonzalo Higuain, who is out injured, brings to an end a difficult year for the former Arsenal striker.

After proving an instant success at Manchester City following his £25million transfer from the London giants 18 months ago, Adebayor was never in new coach Roberto Mancini’s plans, and has been an extremely peripheral part of the Italian’s squad this season.

Adebayor conceded his 2011 promises to be in complete contrast to 2010.

“My dream has come true to be able to play football again at the highest level, especially with Real Madrid,” he said.

“After Arsenal, when I went to Man City, don’t get me wrong, it’s true that I had an up and down time, and I was nearly dead as well on the way to the African Nations Cup.

“I was a little bit traumatised by all those kinds of things and it was a very difficult moment for me. Today all those things are behind me.

“2010 started very badly for me, but 2011 started very well by signing a contract with Real Madrid.

“I’m very honoured and very, very happy to join this club.”
