Vice-president Adriano Galliano claims the Italian club have sent a written request about the Togo striker's availability, but are still awaiting a response from Emirates Stadium.

However, Milan are making better progress in their pursuit of Didier Drogba with Galliano hopeful Chelsea will set an asking price for the unsettled Ivorian within the "next few days".

Adebayor and Drogba are top of the six-time European champions' shopping list along with Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o, but their interest in Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov has cooled.

Galliano said: "We wrote to Arsenal to ask about Adebayor, but we didn't get a reply. We are waiting to see whether Chelsea let us know the price tag they have put on Drogba over the next few days. As for Eto'o, we have spoken to the player and opened negotiations, but the figure is high at the moment.

"Dimitar Berbatov and Mario Gomez [of Stuttgart]? Our interest in those two has declined and I think if a great striker arrives he will be one of the first three I mentioned."

Adebayor signed a new four-year contract last summer but 30 goals for the club last season have made him one of Europe's hottest properties.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said last week: "If AC Milan are interested in Adebayor, they just [have to] call me and they will get the answer they deserve."
