The Togo international could be allowed to leave White Hart Lane for free, with his wages a major drain on the budget at the club.
The 30-year-old hasn’t played since October, and was granted compassionate leave in December.
With Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino seeming to prefer youth in his starting line up, it looks like the more experienced player could leave.
This news has caught the eye of the Giallorossi, who may need a new striker with Mattia Destro looking likely to move to AC Milan in the near future.

The transfer could also mean that Adebayor gets to play in the Champions League again.
