Aston Villa are looking to complete the deal for Emmanuel Adebayor before their Premier League opener against Bournemouth, according to reports from the Birmingham Mail.
Tottenham striker Adebayor had completed a medical at Aston Villa last week but the transfer has still not come into fruition and it is believed that the 31-year-old's £100k-a-week wage demands are holding up the deal.
Despite the snag, Villa are still hopeful of signing Adebayor and are looking to get the deal done this week before the season kicks off this weekend.
