Adebayor 'staying' with Gunners

Emmanuel Adebayor's future at Arsenal - and a possible move to AC Milan or Barcelona - looks set to be decided next week.

The 24-year-old Togo striker has been linked with a move to AC Milan with Barcelona also interested, following two-and-a-half years in London.

When asked if was staying at Emirates Stadium, Adebayor said: "Of course, I have three more years contract so, no matter what, I have to stay. I'm staying at Arsenal."

Speaking in Vienna with sportswear manufacturers adidas, Adebayor added: "I've three more years with Arsenal, I have a good contract, we have a good team there and I'm playing for one of the biggest teams in the world.

"The most important thing is to keep enjoying myself."

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has also been in Austria for the European Championship but the pair have not spoken yet about a potential move.

Should talks take place over a move, the former Monaco striker insists money will not be a factor.

"When I was young I had a dream to be a good footballer and play for a big team," he said. "I was born in Togo so I never cared about playing for money, my happiness was to play to enjoy myself. That's what I've been doing until now.

"You can see people changing clubs because of money, because they want a change of atmosphere or to get their names in the big leagues.

"I just play football to enjoy myself. I play because I love it."
