ARSENAL fans could be in for a treat as their top scorer Emmanuel Adebayor may be in the Togo squad featuring in the Intercontinental Cup from May 15-25. Togo are the replacement team for Ghana.
Although the tournament’s organiser has yet to confirm whether Adebayor will be heading here, his name is on the 18-man list.
Meanwhile, Kedah striker Mohd Khyril Muhyamee Zambri is looking forward to partnering Negri Sembilan’s Mohd Zaquan Adha Abdul Radzak in Malaysia’s attack.
Selangor striker Safee Sali and defender Aidil Zafuan Abdul Radzak, Zaquan’s twin brother, have been ruled out of the tournament due to injury.
