Emmanuel Adebayor 'hates' Arsenal because 'fake' Arsene Wenger forced him out and explains THAT infamous goal celebration in front of their fans

Emmanuel Adebayor has revealed he 'hates' Arsenal because Arsene Wenger is 'fake' and claims his infamous celebration in front of their fans was revenge for a racist chant sung against him.

The controversial striker burst onto the Premier League scene after Wenger plucked him from obscurity at Monaco in January 2006. He would spend three-and-a-half seasons at the club before joining big-spending Manchester City for £25million.

But while it may have been almost nine years since he swapped the Emirates for the Etihad, Adebayor says his feelings towards Arsenal and, in particular, Wenger remain as strong as the day he left.
