Gilberto: Adebayor has put us on high
Emmanuel Adebayor’s huge improvement has been hailed as one of the key factors in Arsenal’s remarkable run.
The giant Togo striker, 23, displayed glimpses of his potential during his first 18 months in London but has taken his game to a new level this season, scoring six goals in eight matches.
“He has improved a lot since he first came to the club,” said Adebayor’s team-mate Gilberto Silva.
“This season has been a great start for him. He’s shown great quality, holds the ball, wins it in the air and makes the job for the team easier and for the opponents it is very difficult.”
So there you go.
Incidentally, Gilberto will be 31 years old this Sunday. Maybe Wenger will give him a birthday present of a starting position in the Sunderland game! Would be nice, eh.
