Emmanuel Adebayor denies smoking during Contract talks with

Emmanuael Adebayor has issued a statement
to deny ‘ludicrous’ reports he drank a shot of
whisky and smoked a cigarette during transfer
negotiations with Lyon manager Bruno Genesio.

Adebayor is without a club but was poised to
join the French club last week when the move
collapsed at the last minute.

Reports have circulated online with quotes
from Genesio detailing the whisky, cigarette
and other strange behaviour by the Togo
striker.
Only it did not actually happen and the original
article was written as a joke by a French
journalist with all humour lost in translation,
according to an unequivocal statement
released by the player.
