Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor admits he is hurt by the abuse he has suffered from the Gunners' fans this season, and is considering leaving as a result. The former Monaco forward has endured a frustrating 2008/09 campaign with Arsene Wenger's side, who have now gone four seasons without winning a trophy since their 2005 FA Cup triumph against Manchester United. The Togolese front-man has had to endure criticism from both Arsenal fans and former players, with ex-Gunner Lee Dixon slamming the striker's attitude in the Champions League semi-final.

While the North London outfit's fans have even turned to booing the forward, frustrated with his seemingly lacklustre displays.

And Adebayor, who is being linked with an end-of-season switch to AC Milan, says he has been left mentally scarred by the verbal attacks.
