Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor has launched an extraordinary Facebook rant against members of his family.

In an 877-word Facebook post, Adebayor claims one brother, Rotimi, stole 21 mobile phones from a French football academy he had got him a place in.

The Premier League ace says he was not allowed to see his now-deceased sibling Peter when he was "seriously ill" and was instead told by his mother to "just give money".

He also says he paid for another brother, Kola, to fly to Africa from Germany to attend Peter's funeral but he did not show up.
