Adebayor 8-11 for five goals or more

CRYSTAL PALACE have signed free agent Emmanuel Adebayor until the end of the season and he is expected to make a useful impact for the Eagles.

Betway have framed a market on how many Premier League goals they expect the 31-year-old to score this term and offer 8-11 about five or more and evens about four or fewer.

Newcastle are close to sealing their second big deal of the January transfer window after agreeing a reported £12m fee with Tottenham for winger Andros Townsend.

The Magpies shelled out a similar amount for Swansea's Jonjo Shelvey earlier this month and hope to snap up another England international to bolster Steve McClaren's squad.

Reinforcements are deemed necessary with Newcastle two points inside the drop zone and preparing for a tough February schedule which includes trips to Everton and Chelsea and a home match with Manchester City.

West Ham have confirmed that the knee injury Carl Jenkinson picked up in the 2-2 draw with Manchester City is significant. The defender - on loan from Arsenal - will see a specialist to determine the full extent of the problem but is expected to be out for a while.

Middlesbrough have attempted to boost their Sky Bet Championship promotion hopes by signing Uruguay midfielder Gaston Ramirez on loan from Southampton until the end of the season.

Ramirez has been capped 34 times for Uruguay but has featured in just three Premier League games this season - all as a substitute.
