Harry Redknapp is keen on taking Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor to Tottenham, possibly on loan.[LNB] Adebayor has slipped down the pecking order at City and spent the second half of last season on loan at Spanish giants Real Madrid.[LNB]Real have hinted that they would like to bring the Togolese frontman back on a permanent basis, but Jose Mourinho is chasing a number of other targets.[LNB]That could allow Tottenham to steal a march on the Primera Liga outfit, with Redknapp having been a fan of Adebayor for some time.[LNB]He has turned out for Spurs' fierce north London rivals Arsenal in the past, but soured his relationship with the Gunners when he pushed through a move to City in 2009.[LNB]Redknapp would have no qualms about bringing the 27-year-old back to the capital and admits he has discussed the possibility of making a move during the summer transfer window.[LNB]Speaking on Spurs' pre-season tour of South Africa, he said: "The chairman, Daniel Levy, has been speaking about it, I am not sure if it will happen. He is a name that has certainly been mentioned, certainly.[LNB]"I spoke to the chairman about loaning the player and if we could work out a deal for him, I would like to bring him to the club."
