After two goal salvo Adebayor hopes for permanent Real Madrid deal

Emmanuel Adebayor scored the first two goals in Real Madrid's 4-0 quarter-final first-leg triumph at the Bernabeu over Tottenham in the quarter finals of the Champions League. The Togo international has now scored five goals in 14 appearances for the Spanish giants since joining the club on a six-month loan from Manchester City in January.

Adebayor knows he needs to produce performances like Tuesday night's if he is to persuade Madrid to keep him on.

When asked if he wanted to stay at Madrid, Adebayor said following the Spurs game: "Of course I do.

"I don't know at the moment [about my future]. I just keep going working hard in training. I still have one or two months left so we will see."

Regarding his impressive all-round display, the 27-year-old said: "It was my best game for Real Madrid.

"When you join a new club the most important thing is to score. It's always special to score in the Champions League. I have to keep working hard now, keep going and keep working in training to progress.

"I'm very happy. Now we have the second leg to finish the job. It puts us in a good position going to London."
