Emmanuel Adebayor has confirmed he will leave Crystal Palace after the FA Cup final

The 32-year-old signed for the London club in January, but has hardly played for the Alan Pardew’s team, scoring just one goal.

He said: “The journey will stop in May – but that’s not the end of my journey. It is just a stop. It will continue, wherever I go to.

“I will always wish this club well. It doesn’t matter if I start the Manchester United game on the bench or the gaffer decides to put me in the stands – at the end of the day we want to win it. This club wants to win it.

“Every player – whether they start or not or are not even in the squad of 18 – want the club to win the FA Cup. It is as simple as that.”
