London: Tottenham Hotspur have not named Emmanuel Adebayor in their squad for the Europa League and are also expected to exclude him in the Premier League, as he remains in limbo at the club.

The north London outfit have submitted their list to Uefa and Adebayor’s name is not on it, and he is unlikely either to be on the 25-man senior squad list that Spurs will submit to the Premier League later on Thursday.

Adebayor is persona non grata at Tottenham, having been removed from first-team contention by the manager, Mauricio Pochettino, since the beginning of pre-season. The club were desperate to get his £100,000 (Dh561,771) weekly wage off the books before Tuesday’s transfer deadline, but no agreement could be reached.

West Ham United showed an interest but, when they filled their quota of domestic loans with the deal for Chelsea’s Victor Moses, any move for Adebayor became dependent on him reaching a settlement with Tottenham and signing as a free agent.

Adebayor wanted the final year of his deal to be paid up in full — a sum of around £5m — and Tottenham refused. They did not want him to give him all the money and then see him go to a rival and, potentially, score against them.

Adebayor has been training with Tottenham’s development squad and he has been stripped of his No. 10 shirt, which has gone to Harry Kane. The one remaining chance of Tottenham getting rid of him would appear to be a sale to a club in Qatar. The transfer window there does not close until September 30.
