La Liga giant REAL MADRID, struggling to score as mightily in the Spanish top flight since the crippling injury to Argentina World Cup striker GONZALO HIGUAIN, have taken disgruntled Togo international striker EMMANUEL ADEBAYOR on loan until the end of the season from English Premier League side MANCHESTER CITY.

Adebayor, who scored five goals on 14 appearances in all competitions this season for Manchester City, had notched just one goal in eight Premier League games this season. A key to the transaction taking place, Real Madrid have agreed to pick up the wages of the out of favor Togo international, during the loan period; the 26-year-old striker is said to have a contract paying 165,000 English pounds per week.

Real Madrid do have the option to make the loan permanent at the end of the 2010-11 campaign for a transfer fee of 17.0 million Euros with another 4.0 million Euros on offer in terms of incentive clauses in the agreement.
