Crystal Palace sign striker

Crystal Palace have completed the signing of former Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor after the Togo international was released in the summer.

Palace have found goals hard to come by from their strikers this season, with Dwight Gayle and Connor Wickham scoring an underwhelming amount of goals for the Eagles as of late.

However, with the latest signing of the experienced Adebayor, manager Alan Pardew will be hoping that the goals will begin to flow for his side once again.

Adebayor has featured for a trio of top Premier League sides across the years, playing for Arsenal, Manchester City and most recently Tottenham and he will be hoping that his fourth spell in the top flight will be the one to re-ignite his career after a rocky couple of years.

The 31-year-old is in contention to make his first appearance for the Eagles as they gear up to take on Stoke in their FA Cup fourth round clash after they c progressed into the next stage of the competition by defeating Southampton 2-1 in the third round.

If Adebayor can recapture his form from earlier on in his career, there are no doubts concerning just what he can bring to the table at Selhurst Park, and it is a move that Palace fans can be excited about.
