Emmanuel Adebayor looks to have started his last game for Arsenal

Emmanuel Adebayor looks to have started his last game for Arsenal.

The Togo striker is unlikely to win his place back in the side to face Stoke on Sunday and may not even make the Gunners squad for the final game of the season.

Adebayor is still smarting at being a target for fans angry at the club's underachievement. He was nowhere to be seen at Arsenal's end of season party at London nightclub Sketch on Wednesday evening.

The striker's agent Stephane Courbis insisted last night: "You will have to ask Mr Wenger whether Emmanuel will play on Sunday.

"All I will say is that Emmanuel's work has been good for Arsenal. Is he happy? You will have to ask Mr Wenger. Is he popular? Ask the players and you will see whether he is popular."

If, as expected, Chelsea announce the capture of AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti next week then they will be in the hunt as the Italian is a huge admirer of the player.

Inter Milan and AC Milan - who failed in a bid to land the Togolese striker last year - are also in the hunt for his services this summer and are willing to offer around £24million for his services.

That is all music to the ears of most Gunners fans who would be glad to see the back of Adebayor following his poor display in the Champions League semi-final defeat to Manchester United.

In the following game - the 4-1 humiliation at home to Chelsea - he was dropped to the bench and publicly slapped down after criticising Arsene Wenger's transfer policy.

And he did not appear at all in the 0-0 draw at Manchester United last Saturday which handed Sir Alex Ferguson's men the Premier League title. The official reason given for his absence was that he was injured.

Arsenal fans plan a march to show their support for Wenger ahead of Sunday's home game against Stoke, but they are steadfastly unwilling to offer similar backing for Adebayor.

Many supporters have not forgiven him for openly courting AC Milan last summer then kissing the badge after worrying the club into handing him a pay rise.

Meanwhile Andriy Arshavin has added to beleaguered Wenger's woes by claiming that the Frenchman is not as receptive to his input as his former bosses at Zenit St Petersburg, Dick Advocaat and Guus Hiddink.

The 27-year-old playmaker said: "I've never had a lengthy personal conversation with him, the way I did with Dick Advocaat.

"My conversations with Guus Hiddink (Arshavin's Russian team manager) were not too long either but we did exchange our views on football.

"For me, it's important to explain to my manager what I want to do on the pitch. Then he will realise that I make one or another move in a game not because I misinterpreted his instructions but because of my own vision of football."

Arshavin has also revealed the Gunners are to demand all of their foreign imports take an English exam from now on to prove that they can master the language.

He went on: "At our training base, I feel at ease now. Everyone understands me, I can explain what I want, and know all the football terms.

"But I continue learning English with two classes a week. Probably due to my usual 'luck', I will be the first foreigner in the team to take the language exam which Arsenal is making obligatory this year."
