BREAKING NEWS: Report: Adebayor To Have Work Permit Hearing Tomorrow
http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=g ... &type=lgns
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has moved closer to his potential switch to Manchester City, it seems, with Sky Sports News reporting that a hearing has been scheduled in Manchester tomorrow to determine whether the player can be awarded a work permit.
City's capture of another striker, Carlos Tevez from Manchester United, was confirmed today, as the club's bid to become a European and global powerhouse moves into overdrive.
Manager Mark Hughes had earlier confirmed to reporters that the Citizens were in discussions over a move for the Togolese, with reports yesterday suggesting that a bid of £22million had been prepared, with the Eastlands outfit prepared to offer the player £170,000 a week in wages - double what he is reported to earn at Arsenal.
Hughes has already signed Roque Santa Cruz as reinforcement for his forward line, and,with the likes of Craig Bellamy, Robinho and now Tevez at the club, it looks as though the Welshman is seeking the depth needed in a squad serious about challenging for a place the top four and beyond.

Re: Emmanuel Adebayor
ADEBAYOR LOYALTY BUST-UP
Emmanuel Adebayor last night completed his £22million move to Manchester City - but remains locked in a battle with Arsenal over his £2m loyalty bonus.
The Togo striker is adamant he is due the cash from the Gunners because he did not put in a transfer request.
It is a demand that will leave Arsenal fans stunned as it was Adebayor's apparent lack of commitment that soured their relationship with him.
The 25-year-old hit just 16 goals last season - as he courted the attentions of AC Milan - compared to the season before in which he smashed 30.
Adebayor - who will pick up £170,000-a-week at City - said his goodbyes to the Arsenal players and staff at the Gunners' London Colney training ground yesterday.
He then trave l led to Manchester to finalise the paperwork to complete the deal.
Adebayo r ' s wages a t Eastlands will be around double what he was earning at the Emirates, with his agents set to pick up around £2m for their "services".
But he is determined to squeeze Arsenal for one last pay day as revenge for agreeing the deal while he was on holiday in Togo.
It is believed the shocked striker initially threatened to dig his heels in and refuse to join City after being told a fee had been agreed for him and that he had to leave.
He later relented after realising he had no future at the Emirates.
Andrey Arshavin is confident Arsenal can win the Champions League next season - even without Adebayor.
The Gunners' £15m Russian hitman said: "To win the Champions League means everything. We nearly did it last season, and I do not see big problems.
"Adebayor is an excellent striker. Everybody knows him and he can score from nothing

Re: Emmanuel Adebayor
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes that Manchester City will be getting a 'special' player in Emmanuel Adebayor.
The Togo international is to undergo a medical at Eastlands on Saturday ahead of a reported £25million switch.
Wenger, who brought Adebayor from Monaco in 2006, confirmed a transfer is in the offing while stating that the returns of injured duo Thomas Rosicky and Eduardo will help compensate for his exit.
When asked if a deal looks more likely than less likely, Wenger said on Sky Sports News: "Yes.
"He is up at Manchester City having a medical and we will see what comes out of it.
"If the medical is positive and he agrees personal terms then it could happen.
Fee
"We'll miss him, but of course we want to focus on the players that are with us at the moment.
"We want to wish him well and thank him for everything he has done for the club.
"I wish him well, I am sure he will give something special to Man City.
"On our side we have Thomas Rosicky back and Eduardo back on Monday in full training. We have lost a big striker but gained one offensive player and one striker."
When asked about the alleged £25million fee for Adebayor, Wenger said: "I don't know what is good and what is bad in today's transfer market. We still have to sign the documents.
"The price we do not know. And we don't know whether we or Man City will come out with the price."
