Milan hint at Adebayor U-turn

The ongoing saga surrounding Emmanuel Adebayor's future has taken a new twist after AC Milan's vice-president Adriano Galliani claimed Arsenal had written to him to say they were willing to discuss selling the Togo international.
Earlier in the week, Galliani had appeared to cool his interest in the 24-year-old when he suggested the Gunners' valuation of the player was far more than he was willing to pay.
But speaking on Antenna 3 on Tuesday night, Galliani said: "I will reveal to you a scoop.
"I have received a letter from Arsenal that says, 'Following our communication of June 13, in which we informed you we were not willing to deal over Adebayor, now we are writing to tell you that we will consider a deal if it still interests you'.
"If Adebayor decides to leave Arsenal, we are certainly interested."
The former AS Monaco forward has been tracked by the Italian giants throughout the summer despite Arsenal insisting he was not for sale.
The north London club are reported to be holding out for £35million for last season's 30-goal top-scorer.
