Milan are '£3m from Adebayor' Wednesday 25 June, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reports suggest that just £3m now separates Arsenal marksman Emmanuel Adebayor from a move to Milan.

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani’s painstaking search for a new striker to add to Alexandre Pato has narrowed to just one name – Adebayor.

And despite Arsenal’s initial reluctance to sell the Togolese star, it seems that the player’s determination to join the Diavolo will prove decisive.

Reports suggest that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has resigned himself to losing Adebayor and that the London club are close to agreeing a fee with Milan.

According to Mediaset, Arsenal are demanding £31m for the immediate completion of the deal, while Milan’s current offer is around £28m – a difference that can easily be resolved.

Barcelona had been favourites to lure Adebayor after reportedly tabling a £25m bid, but Adebayor is determined to play in Serie A rather than La Liga.
