Emmanuel Adebayor axed by Olimpia after just 4 appearances



The ex-Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham striker only joined Paraguayan side Olimpia in February.

He has since spent large periods of time in Togo after coronavirus halted the South Americans' season.

Olimpia have now scrapped the 36-year-old's contract in the face of his Covid 19-related problems returning to Asuncion.

The capital city club said in a statement: "The contract with the Togolese player Emmanuel Adebayor has been cancelled by mutual consent.

"This situation has come about because of the difficulties the player would have in returning to Paraguay.

"He would need to take multiple flights, and they could place his health at risk.

"We thank Emmanuel Adebayor for his professionalism, and we wish him success in the future."
