Transfer Talk

Bassong on his way to north London, AC Milan confirm interest in Adebayor

The latest transfer gossip, rumours and damned lies

Emmanuel Adebayor

Emmanuel Adebayor to AC Milan

Manu has been touting himself to the Rossoneri for bloody ages, and has moved a step closer to his Beyonce-inspired dream following comments from Milan club administrator Adriano Galliani. The Uncle fester-alike could go for the Togo hitman if a move for Bundesliga top scorer Edin Dzeko falls through:

“If we fail to get Dzeko then (Sevilla striker) Luis Fabiano could be an alternative – as could Adebayor.”

The Spoiler truth-o-meter: Wolfsburg will be very reluctant to part with Dzeko, and Arsenal fans won’t exactly cry themselves to sleep if Adebayor leaves, so this move could be on.

Sebastien Bassong to Arsenal. Or maybe Tottenham.
The Newcastle Evening Chronicle claim the Toon defender has been flattered by interest from Arsene Wenger. Confusingly, Goal.com reference the report in the local paper, but instead claim that Harry Redknapp is ahead of the pack in chasing the Cameroonian.

The Spoiler truth-o-meter: Even though we’re not convinced they’re in the running, Tottenham will be more inclined to pay the £15m-ish asking price, particularly if ‘Arry can offload some of his duds at St James’ park in the process.

Dean Ashton to Stoke
Despite the kiss of death of being mentioned in the health report in Michael Owen’s glossy brochure, the perennially-injured Hammer is on Stoke’s radar according to The Daily Mail.

The Spoiler truth-o-meter: Stoke chairman Peter Coates has denied the story on BBC Radio Stoke.
