Adebayor
had reportedly rejected moves to Villa and West Ham during the recent transfer
window

Aston Villa manager Tim
Sherwood would jump at the chance to sign Emmanuel Adebayor if he showed the
right attitude and desire but fears the Togo forward may now be frozen out of
football until January after leaving Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs said on Sunday that
Adebayor had been released from his contract by mutual agreement. The
31-year-old has not played for Spurs this season and was left out of both their
Premier League and Europa League squads.
Adebayor
had reportedly rejected moves to Villa and West Ham during the recent transfer
window but was told late last week by Spurs' boss Mauricio Pochettino he had no
future at the club.

report continues:
The
player has also fallen out of favour with Togo coach Tom Saintfiet, who likened
him to a bad date and said recently that Adebayor had failed to respond to a
call-up for an African Nations Cup qualifier.
However,
Sherwood enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Adebayor during his time in
charge of the North London side and said he would be keen to bring him to Villa
if the player came with the right attitude.
"I
would not hesitate if he had the desire to want to come and play
football," Sherwood told reporters when asked if he would try to sign
Adebayor in the January transfer window.
"He's
too good a talent -- I've seen that first hand -- to not play any football but
unfortunately I don't think there's any window open for him now."
