​Ex-Palace forward Adebayor still has Premier League ambitions

Former Crystal Palace forward Emmanuel Adebayor hopes to play in the Premier League again.

The 32-year-old is Togo's captain at the Africa Cup of Nations, despite the fact he has not had a club in over six months since leaving Crystal Palace.

"I think people can see I am ready, that I am still a footballer," he told the Guardian after impressing in a 0-0 draw with Ivory Coast.

"I love England, love the Premier League and want to find a way to get back there," he said.

"I want to hit the top level again, that's for sure. If not, I just want to play football and have fun, so if I get an offer somewhere then I'll go."
