Former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has decided to set the record straight about him joining Manchester City and how Arsene Wenger lied about his move out of the Emirates.

The Togo International joined Manchester City in 2009 for a transfer fee of £25 million and after the move, Arsene Wenger came out and said that the striker himself wanted to make the move – thus putting the player in the bad books of the Gooners.

But now while giving an interview to TRT World, Adebayor has decided to speak out about his so-called “money hungry” move.

He said: “I had a meeting with Arsene Wenger in his office when he told me I had to leave because he doesn’t see my future anymore in Arsenal. I have to move on in my life,

“So I didn’t have any other choice than joining Man City which I was very happy to join. And the next day when I joined Manchester City I saw him doing a press conference in London saying that I wanted to leave because the money was big and everything, and since that day that is where the hate for Arsenal came from.

 “Not the fans because the fans are the first English fans to sing my name in London. Even today when I watch them play I want them to win but at the same time I want them to lose because the anger in me is too big.”
The reporter also asks him how he would differentiate between Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger to which he says that Mourinho is a manager who wants to win trophies at any costs. He will work for 24 hours in order to win one single game. Whereas Wenger is more like a teacher who just wants to bring up young players and make him into stars.
