New Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly identified Emmanuel Adebayor as one of his key players for next season.
During his stint at Southampton, the Argentine boss favoured a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Rickie Lambert the spearhead of the attack.
Recent reports had suggested that Togolese centre-forward Adebayor could be sold by Spurs this summer, but Pochettino believes that he has the quality to feature as his lone centre-forward, according to the London Evening Standard.
Adebayor, who joined Tottenham on a permanent basis from Manchester City in 2012, has two years left to run on his contract at White Hart Lane.
