he delayed arriving at the club
Lyon have pulled out of a move to sign free agent
Emmanuel Adebayor.
The 32-year-old Togo international was expected to link
up with the Ligue 1 side after coach Bruno Genesio
indicated a deal for the striker was in the pipeline.
Adebayor, whose previous clubs include Arsenal,
Manchester City and Real Madrid, spent the latter half
of last season with Crystal Palace, but he will not be
joining Lyon. READ MORE| Cavani shines in easy PSG

"Olympique Lyonnais has decided not to pursue the
discussions initiated with Emmanuel Adebayor who,
since the beginning of the week, had delayed his trip to
Lyon before coming yesterday to OL Park where Bruno
Genesio was able to speak with him," Lyon said in a
statement.
Lyon, seeking fresh forward options due to Alexandre
Lacazette's injury, noted Adebayor expressed a desire
to play in the Africa Cup of Nations, which may rule him
out of action for several weeks, while he could not be
registered to play in Champions League group matches.
