Speaking in his Evening Standard column, Redknapp wrote: 'If any manager rang me about signing Emmanuel Adebayor I’d have a simple message: take him until the end of the season. You can’t lose.
'When you look around at what is available in the market this month, Adebayor on a free transfer until the end of the season is a no-brainer.
'He could even perform at a higher level - Chelsea have been linked with him and if he went to a club like that, he’d know he wouldn’t necessarily play every week but on a short-term basis, so he should relish the challenge of proving he is big enough to play in the big games.'
