Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy wants Emmanuel Adebayor to start justifying his wages.
The Sunday Mirror says Andre Villas-Boas is set to face pressure from Levy to reintegrate Adebayor into Tottenham's first-team squad.
Levy is understood to be concerned at the prospect of £85,000-a-week Adebayor being left to rot with almost two years still remaining on his Spurs contract.
Adebayor is training with the development squad, on the orders of manager Villas-Boas, after missing pre-season.
