Emmanuel Adebayor ‘would like’ Arsenal to win the Premier League, but fears they will not get the job done, eSPORTY reports.
Instead, Adebayor believes Manchester City, the club he played for when he pulled off his infamous celebration in front of Gunners fans, will get over the line.
“If you ask me today, I will still tell you I think Man City will win it,” Adebayor told Gabby Agbonlahor and Shebahn Aherne on eSPORTY’s Sports Breakfast.
“But I would like Arsenal to win it. They were fighting for it even when I was there. This year, they’re doing quite well. The good thing is defensively, they are very good. But now, they have to win the last three games to win the league.
“Man City dropping points against Everton, they will come back stronger. They will manage with their manager, the excellent team they have, they will do everything possible to win the last three games and wait for Arsenal to drop points so they can be champions.
“But trust me, it is not going to be an easy task for both of them.
“For the first time, I wish Arsenal wins it because they have been working towards this for so long.”
City’s 3-3 draw against Everton, which was secured thanks to Jeremy Doku’s last-gasp screamer, left Pep Guardiola’s side five points behind league leaders Arsenal.
