LONDON - Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed their striker Emmanuel Adebayor will join up with the Togo squad for the Africa Cup of Nations starting in South Africa next week.
"The Club can confirm that Emmanuel Adebayor has been called up by the Togo FA for the forthcoming African Cup of Nations," read a statement on the Tottenham website.
"The striker will be available for this weekend's fixture against Queens Park Rangers before travelling out to South Africa to meet up with his international teammates ahead of the championships."
Spurs coach Andre Villas-Boas had previously said he would be happy for Adebayor to play in the tournament, despite the fact it would leave him with only one senior striker in Jermain Defoe.
