Former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has all but confirmed that his future is away from the English Premiership as he targets a move to Juventus in Italy.

The 26-year old is quoted as saying by Italian paper Tuttosport how he is flooded with offers and is considering some of them as he believes his time in the English league is over. The ex-Arsenal man failed to live up to expectations after leaving the North London Club and is finding life difficult under manager Roberto Mancini.

Arsenal fans will surely never forget the striker’s horrible behaviour during Manchester City’s 4-2 win against the Gunners last year after which he was charged with violent conduct relating to his alleged stamp on Robin van Persie.

Juventus finished 7th in last season’s Italian Serie A and will of course not compete in this season’s Champions League. They did however advance in the Europe League after easing past Shamrock Rovers.

On his future, Adebayor said:

Juventus are a great club in which I would like to play.

Until some time ago I would not have accepted a transfer to other clubs.

I wanted to wear the City shirt and have a better season compared to last year, but I know there will not be many chances for me and so I am considering the many offers I have received.

I am sorry to leave the Premier League, but in Europe there are other top leagues.
