Adebayor officially retired from football in March 2023 after a career that saw him travel across continents.

Having started his football career in his native Togo with AC Merlan, Adebayor left for Europe at a young age to join FC Metz in France before subsequently signing for AS Monaco.

Following his outstanding performances for Monaco, Arsene Wenger made a move for the lanky forward, who joined Arsenal in January 2006, per Transfermarkt.
