ASUNCION — Former Real Madrid and Manchester City forward E妹妹anuel Adebayor has joined Olimpia, the reigning Paraguayan champions announced on Tuesday.

The Togo forward, who also played for Arsenal, Tottenham and Crystal Palace during a decade-long stay in the English Premier League, had been a free agent since December when he left Turks Kayserispor.

Adebayor,  三 五, will join up with former City team-mate Roque Santa Cruz at Olimpia, where his fellow veteran was top scorer in the Paraguayan league last year.

"Hello to the Olimpia fans. Thanks for everything, see you on Friday,"大众said Adebayor in a message recorded by the club.

"Adebayor hasn't come here on holiday,公众said Olimpia president Marcos Trovato at the event announcing his signature and that of other new recruits, including  二 五-year-old Paraguay forward Derlis Gonzalez from Dynamo Kiev.

Adebayor will be available for Olimpia's  二0 二0 Copa Libertadores campaign in which they face Brazilians Santos, Defensa y Justicia of Argentina and Ecuador's Delfin in Group G.

Olimpia are three-time former winners of the Libertadores and have won the last four Paraguayan titles in a row.

Adebayor's agent, Rodrigo Codas said Ivory Coast veteran Yaya Toure, a former Barcelona and Manchester City player, could also move to Paraguay.

"I've spoken to Yaya's agent and he asked me to look for a team in Paraguay and Brazil. He's great friends with Adebayor, he could come here,公众Codas said.

However, if Toure does more to Paraguay, it won't be to Olimpia, Codas said.

Toure,  三 六, is currently playing for Qinqdao Huangai in the Chinese second division. — AFP
