Emmanuel Adebayor claims he cannot wait for pre-season to start despite his struggles at Tottenham.

The striker scored just twice in 17 games last season and started only nine matches in the Premier League.

There has been speculation that Adebayor will leave White Hart Lane this summer.

However, the 31-year-old insists he wants to stay and says his strike for Togo against Liberia on Sunday has given him a new spark for the coming campaign.

Adebayor tweeted: “Feeling really fresh after my goal. Can’t wait to come back to Tottenham and show everyone the passion I have for the club. Looking forward to pre-season!”

"I am happy at Spurs and I look forward to the future with Spurs," he said.

"I have seen there is interest but that's all I know. It is flattering for other clubs to maybe be interested."

“Tottenham are one of the big clubs. That is the way people have to see it. I am at a big club."
