The Togolese feels his new club has every chance of taking his old club's Champions League spot.

"That's why I'm here. That's why I signed for this club," the player told a press conference in South Africa today. "They have the players, they have the squad, they have the spirit to fight for the top four places. That's why I signed for this club.
"I cannot assure you of that [a top four finish] but I can assure you we will do our best. We will fight on the pitch and we will see what we can achieve."
The forward also felt that having seen the quality of players currently at Eastlands, and comparing them with those at his old club, the Citizens have as much chance as the Gunners of claiming a Champions League place.
"I think we have a chance to fight against Arsenal, to fight against anyone to be in the top four," he said.
City are preparing for the final of the Vodacom Challenge, a mini tournament in which they are participating as part of their preparations for the new season, and Adebayor is expected to feature in tomorrow's final against Kaizer Chiefs in Pretoria.
"We have checked Emmanuel out and he has looked good so far, his fitness levels are fine and he could play a significant part tomorrow," City manager Mark Hughes confirmed, via the club's official website.
