Allen: Spurs striker Adebayor 'could' be derby difference

Former Tottenham coach Clive Allen feels Emmanuel Adebayor can be the difference against Arsenal.

But Allen concedes it's unlikely to happen.

He told talkSPORT: "There are games when he is unplayable. He is a player who frustrates you because of the ability that he has. He can be a world beater and there's a lot of frustration that comes with working, supporting and looking at getting the best out of Adebayor in your team.

"We've not seen it often enough for Spurs. If he fancies it and he wants to play a big part in the game then he can win the game for Spurs, it is as simple as that.

"Unfortunately I think it's unlikely given the way he has performed for Spurs so far."
