Indeed, Adebayor was lucky enough to call the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Jack Wilsere teammates during his time at the Emirates.

Adebayor also worked with Aaron Ramsey as he was making his name in north London as well.

Emmanuel Adebayor didn’t play all that much with Ramsey, but, speaking on Premier League Stories, the striker says that he could immediately tell the Welshman was a special player.

Indeed, Adebayor says Ramsey was a player who had something different, stating that the midfielder was in the same sort of bracket as Luka Modric or Xabi Alonso due to how he could see and read the game.

Adebayor spoke about how good Ramsey was at a young age.

The striker says that Arsene Wenger never got his young signings wrong, and he could tell very quickly that Ramsey was a special player.

“When we saw Ramsey coming, we knew Arsene Wenger never got it wrong. Most of the youth players he bought would always become successful.

“After one or two weeks, we knew, this guy has something different.

“He had the cleverness to see and pass the ball, long balls, short pass. Players like Xabi Alonso, Luka Modric, Ramsey, I would also put him in that category, in that basket. He knows where the ball is supposed to be and where the ball is supposed to go, that makes him a different player.”
