CRYSTAL Palace were so keen to land Emmanuel Adebayor on transfer deadline day that they offered to pay £70,000 a week towards his inflated wages, it has been reported.
The Daily Telegraph have reported that Palace were willing to foot the bill for 70 per cent of 30-year-old Adebayor's £100,000 a week pay packet.
QPR were willing to stretch to £60,000, according to the Telegraph, but the player rejected the moves to both Loftus Road and Selhurst Park, instead stating a preference to join London rivals West Ham.
However, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy blocked that deal so it now looks as if Adebayor will stay in north London until the summer at least.
