Adebayor joined Real on loan from Manchester City in January, and is enjoying life in La Liga.

He said: "I shall do everything I can to stay on with Real Madrid. No-one can be as happy as I am now. Playing here is a dream come true, and I now feel useful again.

"But I don't see myself succeeding at Real with dreadlocks, so that is why I have had them cut off!

"Give me a contract stating that we shall win the Champions League final 2-0 with both goals by Karim Benzema and I'll sign it straight away!"
