London's team has been supplemented by another powerful rookie, who became the second purchase in the last 24 hours. Having reached a final agreement during the day with the young Frenchman Vassiriki Diaby, in the evening the vice-champions of England were joined by the 21-year-old striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
The player of the Togo national team, who recently claimed that he could die for his country, has been playing for the "Monaco" team for the past two years. Having recently missed several training sessions, the footballer lost the trust of coaches and team leaders, and even the president of the Monaco club, Michel Pastor, stated that E.Adebayor would never wear the club's jersey again.
Although "Arsenal" was far from the only team in England interested in acquiring a promising player. Nevertheless, the London club, which had an unsuccessful start to the new season, quickly took advantage of the situation and was the first to make a solid offer, which the African agreed to immediately - a long-term contract was signed with the player. The financial details of the deal are not disclosed.
"It's a great day for me," said E.Adebayor. - "I am joining one of the strongest teams in Europe, which includes so many great players. I will work hard and hope to bring joy to the Arsenal fans in the future."
However, in the near future, E.Adebayor will not join his new team, as he will represent the Togo national team at the African Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt, which starts on January 20th.
