Arsene Wenger Confident Emmanuel Adebayor Will Be Wearing Arsenal Colours Next Season
The Frenchman has faith that the Togolese targetman will still be a Gunner when the season starts next month...
Interest in Adebayor looms on three fronts: Manchester City, Chelsea, and AC Milan, as all three clubs continue their respective quests for squad enhancement.
"If he does not want to stay, he will leave," Wenger stated matter-of-factly to the club's official website. "But I think that he will be still at Arsenal this season."
Meanwhile, Wenger has confirmed that his interest in Karim Benzema was real, contrary to reports that sought to negate the Frenchman's admiration for powerful Olympique Lyonnais forward.
Together with Real Madrid, Manchester United and Arsenal were both believed to be in the running for the France international's signature, before the Galactico Mk2 era paid dividends for the third time this summer.
"There is one who interested me but he (Benzema) left for Madrid," Wenger said. "I did not make an approach because I would never have thought that Lyon would sell this year."
