Video: Footballer Emmanuel Adebayor converts to Islam

    The Togo and Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor has seemingly converted to Islam.

    A video is circulating on the internet where you can see Adebayor, 31, taking his shahada in a mosque apparently in Guinea.

    The news will come as a shock for many as the striker is known for being a fervent Christian and usually crosses himself whenever he comes onto a football pitch.

    So far Adebayor himself has not confirmed the reports.
