Spurs were keen to part ways with the Togo international during the summer transfer window with the club even attempting to sever his contract to remove his bumper wages, according to British media reports.

Spurs were desperate to get his weekly wage off the books before Tuesday's transfer deadline but no agreement could be reached.

The North London club tried to offload the striker to Aston Villa and West Ham United on deadline day but they were put off by his reported £100,000 per week wages.
