Manchester City boss Mark Hughes says the players are excited about the arrival of former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

"Emmanuel is travelling out and should be with us tomorrow (today)," Hughes told City's website from South Africa, "we will see what condition he is in then and I can make a decision with regard to whether he's available for the game at the weekend.

"The group is really excited by the impact of the new players, and they are really looking forward to the challenge of this season. That's due to the high quality we have been able to add to what we already had in the squad, so everybody is excited by what's ahead."
