Newcastle United supporters have been reacting to reports the club are interested in signing journeyman striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

As reported by The Sun, the Magpies are one of three Premier League sides chasing the Togo international, the others being Aston Villa and Brighton.

The current free agent has also previously played for Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
