20e2986b31f649d4bd02689346e73b4d | Maverick Tottenham forward Emmanuel Adebayor has insisted that he is happy to stay and fight for his place at White Hart Lane and rejected reports linking him with a move away.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday night, the 31-year-old Togo international expressed his gratitude at being able to play in the Premier League and labeled the division 'the best in the world.'
Adebayor joined Spurs in 2011 from Manchester City, initially on loan before an impressive first season tally of 18 goals, convinced the club to make the switch permanent for 拢5million the following summer.

Adebayor's last Premier League goal for Spurs came during a 1-2 defeat by Newcastle back in October last year.
Adebayor has made just 10 appearances in all competitions this season and scored only twice.
