Former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor denies criticising the CAF awards achieved by Liverpool duo Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.

Adebayor was quoted being unhappy with players winning the CAF Player Of The Year award when not playing in the continent, including Mane and Salah.

“My attention was recently drawn to comments, shared by certain media on social networks, made on CAF and on my colleagues Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane," Adebayor said in a statement on Twitter.

“I would just say that these statements are not mine. I have not granted any media interviews. Always be careful not to post false information."

Adebayor also captioned his tweet with the quote saying: “Friends watch out for #fakenews!"
