DONE DEAL: Free Agent Adebayor joins Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have signed free agent Emmanuel Adebayor
on a six-month contract.

The Togo international was released by Tottenham in
September and has been without a club since, but has now
signed a deal with the Eagles until the end of the season.

Palace boss Alan Pardew has made clear his desire to sign
a striker this month and the club have also been linked with
the likes of Nicklas Bendtner, Loic Remy and Emmanuel
Emenike.

Palace's only goal in their last six Premier League games
was an own goal scored by Tottenham defender Jan
Vertonghen on Saturday.

Adebayor was reportedly close to joining Aston Villa in the
summer but was eventually let go by Spurs having failed to
find a new club, and has not played since May 3 of last
year.

The former Arsenal and Real Madrid player will wear the
No.25 shirt at Selhurst Park.
