Emmanuael Adebayor has issued a statement to deny 'ludicrous' reports he drank a shot of whisky and smoked a cigarette during transfer negotiations with Lyon manager Bruno Genesio.
Adebayor is without a club but was poised to join the French club last week when the move collapsed at the last minute.
Reports have circulated online with quotes from Genesio detailing the whisky, cigarette and other strange behaviour by the Togo striker.
Only it did not actually happen and the original article was written as a joke by a French journalist with all humour lost in translation, according to an unequivocal statement released by the player.
Adebyaor said: 'Usually I do not comment on any transfer negotiations or speculation but this time certain matters need to be cleared up.
'Lyon wanted to sign me and offered to pay for a private jet from Togo to bring me to Lyon in order for me to sign ahead of their game against Marseille.
