The blues are rumoured to be prepared to meet the Gunners asking price of £21m for the striker. Also, City are in the hunt for Portsmouth defender Glen Johnson, who is also a target for Liverpool and Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
Such rumours should of course be taken with a pinch of salt, considering that City have been linked with almost every player on the market. Adebayor however, is a new name to add to the ever growing list of targets that probably haven't crossed Mark Hughes' mind.
