Emmanuel Adebayor has said that he wants to negotiate a new contract with Arsenal after the Togo striker was made aware of interest from Premiership leaders Manchester United.

Spanish side Valencia are also tracking Adebayor.

Despite the interest, Adebayor said that he wants to remain at the Emirates Stadium.

Adebayor said: “My agent has told me both Manchester United and Valencia are following me.

“But I am not getting carried away with that, even if they’re two massive clubs.

“I am doing well at Arsenal, but they have to show me they want to construct something with regard to my new status in the team.

“I would love to extend my contract. I am in the heart of the supporters.”
