Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has confirmed the club are in talks with Manchester City over a move for 27-year-old striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
Adebayor fell out with Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini last year and spent a spell on loan at Real Madrid.
Spurs and City have been in talks for some time over a deal, with Adebayor's reported £170,000 a week wage packet proving to be the only real problem.
"The chairman is talking to Man City about the player," said Redknapp.
Redknapp added: "Where they [the negotiations] are at, I genuinely don't know."
Mancini has made it clear the £25m striker has no future at the club and in April Adebayor admitted he wished to remain with Real, where he scored twice against Tottenham in the Champions League quarter-final first leg clash between the two teams at the Bernabeu.
During that match Spurs fans chanted abusive songs at the former Arsenal marksman, but the player himself said this summer the songs would not put him off signing for Redknapp's team.
Tottenham are on the lookout for a new striker having recently sold Robbie Keane to LA Galaxy.
