Emmanuel Adebayor believes that Arsenal sold him to Manchester City as they needed the funds from his transfer.
Adebayor was recently acquired by Man City for £25 million and has suffered the wrath from a section of the Gunners fans, but he insists that the move was not his call.
He told The Daily Mail, "I came back from holiday and in my first training session they told me that they had accepted an offer for me."
"I asked Wenger why he wanted to sell me. I found out that Arsenal needed the money and that I was the target."
"I never wanted to leave."
"I'm happy they get their money and I hope they spend it well."
The striker continued, saying that the comments from the fans were uncalled for.
"I scored 30 goals for Arsenal two seasons ago and it was not my fault that AC Milan, Barcelona or Real Madrid wanted to buy me."
"The way the fans turned against me was not nice. They didn't turn on Cesc Fabregas when Barcelona showed interest in him."
"When a player plays well, clubs come in for him. The fans never understood that and I cannot understand why they went after me."
"I played my heart out for that club and gave it my best and the way the fans behaved towards me was not nice at all."
