Club career
On 29 August 2018, Vejle Boldklub in Denmark announced the signing of Adebayor from Inter Allies on a loan deal until 30 June 2019.[1] However, one month later, the club announced that they wanted to terminate the loan deal because Adebayor did not show up as agreed and the club had not been able to get in touch with the player.[2]
However, he returned to Denmark in October 2020, when he signed with Danish 1st Division club HB Køge, which is a professional Danish football club based primarily in the town of Herfølge, and secondly in the town of Køge, both in the Køge Municipality.[3]
International career
One of his goals was scored in a 2-1 loss to Niger.[4]
