SEASON'S CONTRIBUTION

Tottenham started the season on a high spending over a 100 million bringing new faces to the club, but despite all the quid spent Tottenham seems doomed under AVB.

A rescue mission was initiated; in came Sherwood who rather than look to the new face to save Tottenham turned to the old face, Emmanuel Adebayor to rescue the team. Adebayor grabbed the opportunity and has not dissapointed since.

Tottenham is back to business all thanks to the resurgence of Adebayor. Right now Adebayor is the most in form African star in the premier league today! We xray his contribution thus far to Tottenham renaisance.

GOALS:
In 10 appearances Adebayor has scored as much banging in 8 goals with the latest of the goals coming in the demolition of Newcastle at the St James park.

CREATIVITY
One of Adebayors style is doing lay offs, these lay offs have so far yielded 2 assists. Had others around him been clinical in front of goal his average key passes of 1.4 should have yielded more assists.

PASSING
His average passes of 37.2 executed at 79.2% success rate has kept Tottenham passing game flowing especially in the final third of the pitch.

For Tottenham to finish in the top four this season they will need Adebayor to keep his form, focus and discipline till the end of the season.
