    Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor due in Birmingham for talks with ASTON VILLA

    The 31-year-old was due in Birmingham today to finalise a deal with Villa, report the Birmingham Mail.

    Talks between the clubs have developed rapidly in the last 24 hours with the hope of a season-long loan the desired outcome.

    The move would see the Togo star reunite with former boss Tim Sherwood who is a keen admirer of his.

    Adebayor made just 13 appearances under Mauricio Pochettino last season scoring only twice.

    And Villa assistant manager Ray Wilkins hopes Adebayor can find form again under Sherwood.

    “I can only talk for myself, but I am hoping there is because when Adebayor wants to play he is extremely effective,” he told talkSPORT.

    “He knows the Premier League inside out, so he would be a good addition for us.”

    Sherwood is still looking to fill the void left by Christian Benteke’s £32.5million departure to Liverpool.

    Villa did boost their attacking options yesterday however with the signing of Lorient striker Jordan Ayew.
