Adebayor heading to Man City's ground

Manchester City says Emmanuel Adebayor is due to arrive at its ground as the striker completes his move from Arsenal.

The Togo international was granted a work permit to switch Premier League clubs earlier this week and the deal was dependent on a medical examination and personal terms being finalized.
Adebayor was not with Arsenal as it played a friendly at Barnet on Saturday. City was playing the Orlando Pirates in South Africa.

City wrote on its Twitter feed during the match Saturday: "Adebayor due to arrive at CoMS (the City of Manchester Stadium) late afternoon."

Adebayor would be joining a bloated attack at City, which has also added forwards Carlos Tevez and Roque Santa Cruz in recent weeks.
