Crystal Palace forward Emmanuel Adebayor is fully committed to Togo, says coach Claude LeRoy.

The 30-year-old has quit Togo twice and often criticised the set-up but LeRoy is sure the striker is now happy.

"He wanted to retire but he told me that as soon as he heard I was coming to coach Togo he changed his mind," LeRoy revealed to BBC Sport.

"I told him that I see him as a perfect captain and an example for all the players to try and build something strong for the next few years."

"He's very happy and we had a very beautiful discussion together. I think for the next camp he will be the first at the training camp, I'm sure about that," added LeRoy.

"I had a very strong relationship with him for a long, long time - before I ever knew that one day I'd be in charge of Togo.

"I consider him a top player and he has to prove to me on the field that he's a top player."
