Manchester City are on the verge of signing Emmanuel Adebayor for £25million after the Arsenal striker underwent a medical today.
The Gunners have accepted City's offer and the Togo star is now set to join Carlos Tevez, who has sealed his switch to Eastlands.
Manager Mark Hughes has moved quickly to wrap up the deal and Adebayor is expected to sign a five-year deal worth £170,000 a week.

Pairing Adebayor and Tevez - whose £25m arrival was confirmed last night - would be a coup for City as they look to break into the top four of the Barclays Premier League.
Meanwhile, Chelsea captain John Terry's interest in a move to City remains very strong and Hughes also still intends to sign Everton defender Joleon Lescott for £20m
