Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has rubbished media suggestions that Emmanuel Adebayor's transfer saga this summer was similar to the situation Tottenham find themselves in with Dimitar Berbatov.

Bulgarian striker Berbatov continues to seek a move away from White Hart Lane to Manchester United following a summer of uncertainty.

But Wenger said on Arsenal's official website: "There is a difference. As I've said, Adebayor was committed first and he kept his word. He said if I have a choice, I want to stay and from the outside, I only read the newspaper, that doesn't look to be the case with Berbatov.

"It looks like he wants a move. So you are in a different situation. When a player says to you, I always want to stay, you are not in a situation where if he doesn't go I have a problem.

"That's what Tottenham could consider if he [Berbatov] doesn't go. Do we have a problem or not?"
