West Ham United are closing on a deal for Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Mirror says talks aimed at a loan deal for the out-of-favour striker were reignited over the weekend.

Should the two clubs reach agreement over the next few days, the Hammers will take Adebayor, 31, for the final year of his White Hart Lane contract.

It is believed the deal could even see Spurs pay some of the player's £100,000-a-week wages - a shift from the north Londoners' refusal to subsidise Adebayor playing for their rivals eight months ago.
