The Togo international has been linked with a move to Camp Nou
with the Blaugrana viewing Adebayor as bacl-up should they fail to
prise Karim Benzema from Lyon or Zlatan Ibrahimovic from
Inter.
Reports in Spain had suggest that Barça made an informal enquiry
during talks about Aleksandr Hleb, who is set to move from the
Emirates to join Thierry Henry at the Catalan giants.
Adebayor is not keen on being third choice, however, and has stated
that he is only thinking about guiding the Gunners back to the
top.
“I came to Arsenal with a mission to succeed," he explained. "I’ve
assured the gaffer Arsène Wenger I’ll stay because I believe in the
team and I want to assure the fans my concentration is here.
“I have no reason to leave so I’ll stay to ensure that together
we’ll win silverware."
There had been fears that Mathieu Flamini's exit from the could
unsettle players who have often demanded that the squad be
strengthened, but Adbayor does not believe the Frenchman will be
that badly missed.
“Mathieu’s a good player but his departure doesn’t mean Arsenal is
about to collapse. Our team is a deep well of talent," he
added.
“I am confident we are capable of winning titles and we will return
for next season hungrier to be successful.”
