Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is eager to get a deal for Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor over the line.
Redknapp is under no illusions as to how good an addition the Togo international will be if his season-long loan goes through.
"(Manchester United defender) Rio Ferdinand told me that he and (team-mate) Nemanja Vidic rate him as the toughest opponent they've played against," Redknapp said.
"If he can give them problems then he can give anyone problems."
