Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been branded a 'physical marvel' after passing his medical ahead of a loan move to Real Madrid.
The Togo international is currently in the Spanish capital to complete a deal which will see him spend the rest of the season at the Bernabeu.
Real's chief of medical services Carlos Diez hailed the fitness of 26-year-old Adebayor, who joined City from Arsenal in 2009, after undertaking tests on the hit-man on Wednesday afternoon.
Diez told the Spanish club's official website: "He is a physical marvel.
"He is in very good physical condition and will be able to immediately be incorporated into the team."
Option
Real are set to sign Adebayor on loan with an option to buy the striker in the summer.
The Primera Liga giants want him as cover for injured Gonzalo Higuain, with only the inconsistent Karim Benzema available to front their attack.
Adebayor made an instant impact at City following his £25million move from the Gunners, scoring in his first four games.
However, he has fallen down the pecking order at Eastlands under Roberto Mancini following Mark Hughes' departure as manager.

All that fighting kept him in good shape then...
Looks like we have done Madrid a favour keeping him fit, good building block in a new relationship perhaps?
sorry if already posted...
