Emmanuel Adebayor: 'Daniel Levy made everything complicated at Tottenham Hotspur'

Crystal Palace striker Emmanuel Adebayor says that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy "made everything complicated" during his time at the club.

Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor has said that chairman Daniel Levy "made everything complicated" during his time at White Hart Lane.

The 31-year-old, whose contract was terminated in September after scoring 42 goals in 113 games for Spurs, says that he had a poor relationship with Levy.

"With the club itself, it wasn't a good relationship with the chairman, Daniel Levy, as he made everything complicated," Adebayor told The Guardian. "But at the end of the day, I know where I am from and if you want something, you have to stand strong for it, and I stand strong for what I think."

However, the Togo international praised Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, despite falling out of favour under the Argentine.

"My relationship with Mauricio was beautiful. I think we had a very, very good relationship with man-to-man conversations. We always talked but at the time he told me: 'Emmanuel, I can't count on you anymore' and I understood that. I realised my time at Tottenham was over and I moved on."

Adebayor returns to White Hart Lane with current club Crystal Palace in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday, with a 3pm kickoff.
